Parent dogs
Snickers, mom
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Snickers
Snickers is an adventure dog. She loves to hike, go camping with us, and swim whenever possible. She does not display herding tendancies, but she loves to chase squirels and birds. She is very intellegent, and has figured out how to unlock and open the truck doors if we leave her alone in there. She loves to be with us, and gets upset when we leave her behind. She will play fetch for hours, and is very good at learning commands.
Klondike, dad
Miniature Australian Shepherd
About Klondike
Klondike is a lover. He loves to be with his family, and to take naps at our feet. He is very friendly and loves to give licks to everybody. He is not a high energy dog and prefers to be inside rather than outside.
