We bought
Amber when she was 4 months old a couple of months after we had
gotten Buddy. As a youngster, Amber had a classic case of the Aussie
'uglies', but she did finally mature into a beautiful Aussie girl at about
2 yrs old. As an 'only' child Buddy was absolutely thrilled
to have his very own playmate that could actually keep up with
him (you know, mom and dad are just soooooo slow!). Boy was
she quick!
She could run circles around Buddy and was
about the fastest, most agile dog we'd ever seen......as a matter of
fact, she could clear a 5 ft. fence from a standstill and never even
touch the fence. She also was the first Aussie I'd ever seen that
did the 'wigglebutt and 'grin', and the first time she did that
we thought she was having a seizure or something!
Her father was a working ranch dog and
several years ago we had her instinct tested and took some herding lessons
on goats, but since we lived so far away from where we could train at we
never got to pursue a herding career with her. She's quite the lazy
couch potato now and prefers to spend her time lounging around, chasing
cows down the fenceline or just wrestling with her 'baby' Quigley.
