About Lexy
🐕 Appearance
Eyes:
The piercing blue eyes are the star feature — bright, clear, and full of expression. They stand out dramatically against the darker coat. Some dogs have one or both eyes blue, while others have marbled or flecked blue and brown eyes (a trait called sectoral heterochromia).
Coat:
The black tricolor pattern is classic and striking:
Primary color: Jet black base coat.
Trim: Bright white markings often appear on the chest, muzzle, blaze (between the eyes), underbelly, and paws.
Accents: Warm copper (tan) points usually highlight the eyebrows, cheeks, and legs, giving a beautiful contrast.
The coat itself is of medium length — thick, soft, and slightly wavy with a full mane around the neck.
Build:
Medium-sized and athletic, with a strong, agile frame. The body is balanced and muscular but not bulky — made for herding and endurance. Males typically weigh 50–65 lbs; females, 40–55 lbs.
Tail:
Naturally bobbed or short-docked, though some have a longer feathery tail.
---
🧠 Personality & Temperament
Intelligent & Trainable: Highly smart, eager to please, and quick to learn commands or routines.
Energetic & Driven: Needs plenty of exercise — loves running, playing fetch, or learning tricks.
Loyal & Affectionate: Deeply bonded to their family; often follows their favorite person everywhere.
Alert but Gentle: Naturally protective and watchful, yet sweet and friendly when socialized well.

🌟 Overall Impression
A blue-eyed, black tricolor Australian Shepherd is both majestic and magnetic — the icy blue eyes framed by a deep black, white, and copper coat create a look that’s almost otherworldly. Their beauty is matched only by their intelligence and devotion, making them one of the most captivating companions you can have.

Lilia was easy to work with and since we had to wait to pick up our pup, she sent pictures and videos of her. Our Daisy is still adjusting and we love having this sweet girl.

Lilia was great to work with! As I was looking into this breed and had my eye on one of her puppies, she was quick to respond to all my online questions and she was willing to talk to me on the phone. When we were ready to move forward, she provided me with references and even did a video chat with the puppy! We live over 7 hours from Lilia, and she was willing to meet us part of the way. That was very helpful!
We love having our little guy join the family! He is such a sweetheart! He has been home for almost 48 hours and there has been ZERO accidents in the house! We do crate him at night. His crate is right next to the bed, and he has only made noise when he needs to go to the bathroom. He loves his chew toys and sleeping on baby blankets. He is meeting the neighbors and the other dogs in the neighborhood. He will have LOTS of friends! We couldn't be more happy!

Lilia was wonderful to work with. She helped me, a grandmother, choose the right puppy for my granddaughter. The pup is exactly what we wanted; loving, sweet, laid back and already the whole family is in love with him. And he is completely loving his new home. Thank you for making my granddaughter’s dream come true.
