Aussie Siberian

We found Ezri at a local animal shelter. Brilliant, affectionate, loyal, amazingly easy to train. Eager to please, adaptive. Easy to groom. Hated water and confined spaces but these may have been remnants of her previous owners. Very active, gained and lost weight easily. Developed primary hereditary glaucoma at 6 years of age and passed of an autoimmune disorder at the age of 8.

Two words; “ESCAPE ARTIST!”

She is extremely jealous. Has to always have our attention.

He is awesome! he is still young, so he spends the night in a crate to keep him safe. His internal clock is incredible he wakes within 5 minutes of 5 am every morning. He has to give hugs and kisses to both of us first thing. He also gives hugs and kisses right after feeding time. He has bursts of energy and rockets through the house a few times a day. So far there is no indication he will have the typical aussie-siberian thick coat. He is so curious and extremely smart. He is eager to please us even at his young age. He is highly food motivated yet in just a week we were able to teach him to sit in a specific spot while we are preparing his food and will stay there until we say okay. He is almost completely house broken. He is 19 weeks old and we have had several accident free days in a row. He goes to his leash, paws at the door and if we don't notice him he barks to let us know he needs to go outside. He is a little impatient, but he is getting better. He accepts kisses without nipping now and loves to give kisses. I am disabled, and he has gone from taking advantage on days I don't feel well to trying to be helpful even if that is just cuddling and kissing and hugging. He is friendly with people that come over but if there is strange activity outside that we would need to be alerted to he lets us know in no uncertain terms. He likes baths, we give him a bath about once every two months. One issue is he likes to steal slippers and socks. at 16 weeks he swallowed a whole bootie sock. The vet was able to make him vomit it up. Thankfully it did not take surgery to retrieve it. We give him grain free puppy food and his only treat is peanut butter. He loves it and it has been an effective reward for training. I spend about 15 minutes a day “working” him on different commands. At 19 weeks he knows sit, stay, lay down, stand up, go to bed, hush, inside voice and of course food and peanut butter. He loves it when he has been good. We give him tons of praise and he responds very well to it. Every dog has their specific quirks, Bohdi loves to be upside down. He sits on the sofa and turns himself upside down and sits like that chewing on his toys. He also loves a game we call upside down puppy. He knows what it is and gets excited when we play it. I just put my arm under his hind quarters and hold him around his shoulders and turn him upside down. He loves to have a pillow of some kind whether it is a toy or a foot. He is a massive chewer. In the 10 weeks we have had him he has destroyed no less than 18 toys. We got an all natural shed of elk antler for him. I researched it and this is something they would naturally chew on in the wild. He loves it. We call it his bone and he knew after calling it his bone twice what it was and where we keep it. You have to limit their time chewing on it because the rich proteins in it can upset their stomach. Overall, he is a wonderful puppy and there is no doubt he will be an awesome dog.

My pupper is really nice.

Extremely intelligent and head strong dog. Great companion.

She is totally full of energy. She will spend hours at the dog park, however you have to keep an eye on her, or she will find a way to run away or explore too far. She sheds quite a lot, and there is hair everywhere. Bathing makes the shedding worse. She takes a while to train, because her mind is on a million different things at once. She learns my habits, job schedule and when it is Saturday.

She's still young, but she's very smart. She's also very needy and DEMANDS attention.

We were given Gypsy when she was 6 months old, unwanted, and tied to a trailer hitch. She was lovable, active,even temperament, and easy to train despite her sad beginnings. At the time we lived in the country on 12 acres where we lived for 9 years, she had free run of the property but stayed close and came inside every single night. She refused to eat or drink inside and would only eat her food off of a rock. It was a very slow process getting her to eat inside. We moved to a city house across the state, into a neighborhood with an unfenced yard. We never had to fence it, she learned quickly where her home was, stayed in the yard when she wasn't in the house. As we age, we downsized to a condo on a lake. We have a large green area in the front yard too. Gypsy has adapted extremely well, knows the routine, and can actually take herself for a walk around the green area if we'd let her. She behaves so well she has never needed to be on a leash. She is very healthy despite only eating 1x per day (her choice) and weighing only 28 pounds. She has taken to and loved all of the indoor cats we have adopted, there have been many, she has outlived most of them. To this day, at age 15, Gypsy will not drink inside. Strange dog but we love her.

Absolutely gorgeous dog but does pull on the lead especially around other dogs. A handful at obedience classes..actually a fail as he just wants to do what he wants. A quirky personality and a great guard dog as he only barks if someone drives in our driveway. Love him more and more

Tasa is such a loving puppy she is super friendly and the potty training was so easy never had a puppy that was so easy to train, she is great with my 6&3 year old besides trying to herd them around the house they adore her....there are some problems with keeping her out the kitchen trash lol she’s so tall a lid doesn’t stop her lol

New to me as a breed type. I am 50yrs old my daughter 16yrs old. Alto is her first chosen dog. She takes excellent car and maintains him. Just neutered he is 45 lbs and really energetic and smart. I really enjoy him as well. Such a handsome boy!

Poochie is full of energy ! She watches everything that my husband and I do. She follows me everywhere even when I go to the bathroom. I have 2 chi’s and one is finely liking her some. Poochie kisses a lot, more than I’ve seen a dog do. When I go to put on my house shoes, there is usually only one.
