Silver's dad says: Meet Silver, my new best friend and all around buddy. He's a blue merle Australian shepherd. Though he's purebred from a champion show and herding bloodline, his primary task is to be my partner, and maybe we'll see how he (and I) will like search and rescue. Silver came to me purely through luck. I recently lost my previous dog, also an Aussie, to sickness, which was possibly the saddest I've ever been. I came across Silver's litter through a recommendation of friends and got to see him at five weeks old along with his brothers and sisters. Unfortunately there were only seven puppies, and with 12 reservations on the litter I had little hope of getting a puppy, let alone my favorite. Imagine my surprise when I got the call that there was one blue merle puppy left! He was brought up well by his breeders and has been a wonderful puppy. Smart as can be and melts hearts wherever he goes, not to mention cute as heck. I sure am lucky to have him in my life. Ready For a Nap Mmm... Flowers Mmm... a Stick
