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.
