OUR CLAUGENE  IS PICTURED BELOW AT AGE 11 YEARS 11 MONTHS
She can trot a fence still for hours without tiring.  She's quite amazing.
Come to one of our doggy camps and she'll show off for you:)
She gets quite distraught at not getting to work the stock with the doggy campers
and so trots the fence at a flying trot, stopping to do breathtaking breed stands every now
and then as she gives us a hopeful glance of getting to work the stock.
SHE'S AU NATURAL IN THESE PICTURES - RUNNING AROUND THE PASTURE LOOK'N PURTY:)

& MEET HER PROGENY

Claugene earned her titles in ASCA & AKC before age three with the exception of the ROMs
which is a USASA award for producing 5 obedience titled and 5 performance titled offspring.

Claugene was raised with an alpha bitch that nipped people from behind and picked on Claugene.  That bitch (China, our first purebred Aussie who picked up her asca/akc CD and STDdsc while with us) was subsequently placed in a one-dog home on a remote ranch:)  Claugene was rocked by school kids when young and teased by teenagers in a park nearby to our old place; she didn't like children at all and wasn't too sure if all adults were trustworthy.  Later when our granddaughter Shelby came along, she learned to love kids.  Claugene is absolutely crazy about our Granddaughter Shelby and loves sharing her stuffed toys.  Claugene has been known to rock a tall dresser to knock off her favorite stuffed toy.  Claugene can read an adult like people read a book.  We can tell from how she reacts who to trust and who not to.  Claugene is a big time tug-a-war lover and avid retriever.  She doesn't shred or tear up toys but she has been known to kill a squeaker in a toy.  She has a huge vocabulary.  You can tell her to find her toy and she'll go look for one, then pick it up and bring it to you or strut around and just show you she has it.  You can tell her  to take a jump and she'll go look for one to go over.  She's a licker and doesn't mind holding your hand down to be sure it's nice and clean.  She's a nosenipper/kisser and she's fast about it.  She can pinch with her feet.  She has one heck of a grip with those toes of hers.  She is protective of her litters but nice once the pups are about 2.5 months of age.  She can play with any pup new to our kennel and be gentle and loving.  She's dominant with adult dogs and sheprefers to rule the doggy roost - she has to split that honor with our VCH Misty.   Claugene is biddable, smart, loving, and gorgeous and would give her life to protect her dog or human family.  She loves dog shows and can be found climbing into someone's lap or begging for treats.  She can be protective of the showsite setup or her crate but once she is out is friendly and outgoing.  She's the smartest dog with the highest learning curve we ever come across since being in this breed.   She came to us at the ripe old age of 6 weeks and she's giving us a lifetime of love and happiness plus a super foundation for our kennel.
