she'll probably be about 30-35 pounds when full grown. females are smaller and I get that guess from the fact that a large male could be 50-55 pounds, and from the size of her feet. I dont know if she is pure bred or not (looks it to me) but her personality is pure aussie!!! shes a tough little booger. she doesnt put up with strider when he gets rough with her, she taunts him, and slowly stalks up withing a foot of him when hes lying down, then lunges at him. and she zips in and out a lot faster than he can when she is paying attention. their doing really really well so far.
we got home with her at 3-3:30 this afternoon, shes had 1 accident. about 2 minutes after we came inside from a 30-45 minute play/potty break in the back yard. she has already learned from strider that if she has to go she scratches at the back door, but if shes more than 10 feet from the door when it hits her that she has to go, she just goes (or I should say went, since its only been one time).
we are trying to think of names, and we're thinking Rorie might be a good name. still trying to think of other possibilities, maybe something australian but cant think of a feminine aussie word/name that isnt really long. like kangaroo...too long. we thought about calling her Brisbane, Brissie for short but think my wife likes Rorie better and shes her dog. for those who are like me and have never watched the show...Rorie is short for lorelai who is the main charachter of Gilmore Girls. she calls her 18 year old daughter rorie. if you guys have name suggestions feel free to post them, we may stick with rorie but we are open to other possibilities as well.
