Australian Shepherd puppies and dogs in Waterford, Wisconsin

Bluelle received a lot of attention at the Petco event she went to recently– mostly for her gorgeous red merle coat and her penetrating blue eyes! She was friendly with every person she met – young and old – and gave many kisses. She seems to be true to her Australian Shepherd breed: remarkably intelligent (was doing sit, lay and stay within the first 30 minutes, and then continued to keep a watchful eye on the right-side pocket where the training treats were!) This 1-year-old girl has a tireless work drive and will need a pet owner who is willing to become familiar with her breed, as well as provide her with training, ample exercise (Got Frisbee?) and mentally stimulating games. We have no doubt this pup would be excited to learn anything, including things like picking up all her toys and putting them in a basket…or jumping through hoops, or any number of “jobs” you might choose to teach her!

Laika is 36 lbs and 3-4 years old. This sweet girl loves chasing and often retrieving balls in the house and outdoors. She loves to sniff around off-leash in a fenced back yard. Turn on your garden sprinkler and she will be entertained and exercised. Laika initiates belly runs and gives kisses to her foster mom as a thank you. Laika is more dominant than Layla and has a strong herding drive, so we recommend a home with no children, cats or small critters. She's a little nervous meeting new people and dogs, which we are working on. Laika is spayed and fully vaccinated. She will need a fenced yard and an experienced handler with a strong understanding of the breed and a willingness to provide lots of exercise and tennis balls.
