Paula described Faiths personalities to a “t”. They met us in a nearby town to pick her up and went over the specifics. We are very happy with our new adoption. I would recommend anyone looking for an Australian Shepherd to seek them out. The good dog experience was great also as it brushes up on taking care of your new puppy.
