Ame,
We don't have aussie shepherd, but do have a, now 11 yr.
old, Aussie Cattle Dog. Tucker always loved the Frisbee!! (He
just in the last year is having problems with arthritis and spondylosis in
his spine, so we had to literally hide his Frisbee backpack from him!)
And, Frisbee is a job that will eventually wear your aussie out before it
wears YOU out! LOL We always found that the Nylabone Frisbees flew
best and held up longer than the others, but didn't like the ones with the
"bone" shape on top, too heavy to throw far. They will run a bit more $,
but in the long run are worth it!
TJ our rescue pyr is just a "lump of love"!
Good luck!
Debbie

Subject: [pyrnet] Anyone have experience
with
... a pyr/aussie shepherd cross??? I have a new puppy that is @ 4 mos.
old who I adopted from a kill shelter yesterday and she is soooooooo smart it
is scary...who out there has experience w/aussies? as she has YET to go to
sleep (after a 7 hr. ride from the shelter and 2 other dogs playing with her
all morning) and needs a job to do already (no long naps or couch potato pyr
here!). She has pyr size (20 #'s at 3 1/2 mos.) and coat and badger markings
as well as aussie brains and aussie movement and doubledew claws...all you
aussie owners out there let me know how to give her an appropriate job to do!
thanks, ame
