Meet Buna my Aussie (+something) pup!
This is Buna! A friend of mine is in social services. A couple weeks ago she had to go into a home and take protective custody of some kids . Also in the home were dozens of neglected dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies. The animals were all taken to the pound and my friend asked me if I wanted to go up and rescue one of them. Of course I did!! Buna’s mom was there at the pound and I was told she is 100% Australian Shepherd. They had found a home for her. Most of the Puppies and kittens had found homes too. But this big girl right here was still available. So I brought her home with me! I have a 21 year old chihuahua/min pin mix and a 6 year old cat. They didn’t know what to make of this big bouncy puppy but now we are one big family! My kiddos LOVE her! She plays outside all day with them! I’ve never owned a big dog. I’ve had my little chihuahua for so long I forgot what a puppy was like and sure didn’t know what a big dog puppy was like! I ordered an Embark DNA test so I can learn what she is, so I can better care for her. It does seem like the Australian shepherd half is prominent from what I’ve read about the breed. She acts just like one with her herding instincts and hyper activity! Do you all have any tips for how best to care for her Australian shepherd side? I want her to have the most happy life!
