The Joys Of Bonding With Dogs
After having a few dogs when I was a kid, I was lucky enough to have an Australian Shepherd come into my life in 1997. Her name was Tessie & she was incredible. Since then, I have had and continue to have several Aussies in my home and still more in my life due to my decision to co-own and co-breed dogs with some of the best Australian Shepherd breeders in the USA. I can’t imagine life without these wonderful dogs & the outstanding breeders that breed them.
