Great photos and she is SO pretty. Tri's and bi's are my favorite coat patterns/colors on Australian Shepherds. I can't wait to hear all about her and Merlin as they grow up.

Oh, and YAY PUPPY IS HOME!!!!!

Thanks, everyone!

Love yr new baby!.
Tri Aussies are my favorites so you,better,post loads of pixs!.
Haha, there's never any shortage of pictures from me. I am sure there will be tons as she grows.

Her ears are killing me hahahaha
I swear I'm just meant to have dogs with wonky ears. She's the 6th now. I really have to go buy some tape for them and at least make a good effort to get them to lay nicely haha. If it doesn't work, oh well, but at least I can't say I didn't try!

Does it seem real yet?
It feels like she's always been here in a lot of ways, but at the same time it kind of feels surreal. She makes me feel so inept as a dog owner sometimes too LOL. Puppies. Doesn't matter how many you've raised, somehow it still takes a lot of getting used to again!

She's so amazing though and I am so glad she's mine.

I really don't want her to grow up. With past dogs I was all "I can't wait for you to grow and I can't wait to see what you'll be like as an adult". But she's just such a good, fun, adorable puppy. I wish she could stay like this forever.

Congrats on your new baby!! You have been waiting and working a long time to find the right match!! And sure enough there she is ....finally!! She will keep you on your toes...can already see the spark in her eyes...love her up
Thanks, Shawn. :)

And yes, keeping me on my toes is right. She's a very busy girl.

I am so happy that I know someone with a littermate! Not that they really look alike at all, but it'll be neat to compare anyway and see how one is developing vs. the other and see what similarities/differences they have.


And, as I type, it looks like I must go rescue the broom she is killing...

there is nothing cuter than an aussie puppy:) and she is no exception.

Just a heads up, I used tape on mine because her ears were 'pricking', and she had a really nasty allergic reaction to the tape,,didn't know it until I smelled it!!! I felt horrible..so just be on top of things if you tape:)

Thanks, guys!

I really can't say enough good things about her. I just hope she starts getting braver/back to normal with people again. I'm trying not to worry about it, but Dance and what I've gone through with her is in the back of my mind. I just spent an entire weekend with all of her breeder's dogs, including both of Nina's parents, and none of them are anywhere near shy. So I just don't understand... hopefully it's just a stage. She's acting the same here at home as she did there for everything except for people. She was super into people there. I wonder if it's partly because her littermates aren't here? But she's been on lots of outings with her breeder all alone, too. I dunno. I talked to her and she told me not to worry, but she thinks it's odd too that she's acting like this.

I've taped a few puppies so no worries there. I play with their ears and stuff constantly too so I would hope I would notice something. But yes, reactions can definitely happen so thanks for making sure I was aware. :)

Haha, even if I wasn't, I'm kind of obsessed with pretty ears. I taped Dance's too because if I hadn't they both would have stuck out sideways and weird. Her right ear still is a little wonky (nobody notices except me), but would have been worse. I don't know why, but ears are just a thing of mine when it comes to dogs.
