Hawaii Australian Shepherds

Koi is a 5 year old Blue Merle Harlequin Australian Shepherd stud. A Blue Merle Harlequin coat features patches of various shades of blue and red, as well as black or liver, on a white base. The coat may also have lacy white areas. Koi is an easy going ranch dog who loves to round up the cattle and horses. Koi is a quick learner and big snuggle bug. His training motivation is more praise/pets than food rewards. Although he will do anything for bacon or cooked beef. Koi knows many tricks including Shake, Down, Sit, Spin, Leave it, Wait, Stay, Recall, and "Round 'em up" for the cattle. His favorite activity is going along for trail rides with the horses or running out to find the cows and bring them in. He also enjoys playing fetch with a soccer ball. He has a collection of plush dog toys that he takes very good care of, never getting them intentinally dirty or tearing them up. Koi often carries them around and sleeps with them at night too. He is a big fan of truck bed rides and will often hop in the truck bed if given the chance, even when the truck is off. He is just hopeful he will get to come along! Koi is e-collar trained, loves belly rubs, loves babies the most of all the human types, and he only barks when it is serious and his bark is incredibly serious. He likes to eat ice cubes when we do a cold plunge or come back from costco with ice cubes to dump out of the cooler. He has a favorite spot in the yard to give himself a back scratch: where the grass covered up some rocks on a little hill.
