Angel

Breed:  Australian Shepherd

Age/Sex:  7 yrs/Female

From some of the other postings we are reading Angel is possibly a “Lethal White” Australian Shepherd. We believe she may have been the result of breeding two merle’s together as she is deaf with sight impairment. She is house trained, neutered, up to date on shots. Angel probably weighs close to 60 lbs. and has some hip stiffness. She does respond to hand signals and is really smart which doesn‘t sound too usual for her breed.

Angel’s owner passed away June 4, 2010 from cancer. Angel is being fostered and is currently living in Golden with the sister of the owner, the sister’s husband, teenage child, and two other dogs. Angel seems to take the alpha role with the dogs and likes to play with the beagle sometimes she can get a little rough. The other dog is a pointer and avoids Angel but they seem to tolerate one another.   Would not recommend her to be around other strong alpha female dogs.

Angel has touch sensitivity and can bite when startled or someone pulls on her collar. Two things that can be easily overcome by doing things differently than one would with dogs that can hear. She doesn't appear to have food aggression toward the people, haven't tested with the other dogs.   She loves to be around people and stay inside and really tries to be a good. She has had one owner and would be a very loyal and protective companion.
