I love australian cattle dogs- they have such unique markings! Sophia is such a beautiful little girl, too. And when I say little- I mean little :) My friend breeds catahoulas, which are similar.
She is a wonderful addition to my current clan ;) I ran across her at my local humane society and I just couldn't get her out of my mind. The day she was permitted to be adopted out I was there waiting when the doors opened. She brought my Mom (who just recently passed) tremendous joy!
