Clara - Australian Shepherd For Breeding in Washington County, Utah

About Clara

Clara's parents were both Kennel Club purebreds, her mother a full sized beige and white Aussie and her father a mini tri-color Aussie. Clara herself is a medium tri-color Aussie. She was the runt of her litter, so she is very submissive. She has been fed Hills Science diet her whole life and is very healthy. We just took her to the vet last week for her regular checkup. She is calm and docile and actually incredibly chill for her breed. Doesn't jump up and doesn't bark, unless she's meeting a stranger, and that's usually one bark to notify us that there is a new person nearby. She goes on hikes with us and kayaking at the lake or river. She doesn't pull while walking on a leash and stays close off leash with great recall. We have a cat who she has grown up with since she was a puppy and she is very good, patient, gentle, and nurturing with him. She is afraid of kids because of a traumatic experience being bullied by them as a puppy but has never showed any signs of aggression to anyone. She cautiously sniffs and licks hands but moves her head away if they try to pet her head. We regularly expose her to strangers and kids at the park and after about five minutes she relaxes and lets them pet her. She is extremely well-behaved around other dogs and frequently goes to the dog park. She also has experience accompanying horses on trail rides and is very calm and polite with the horses. Never barks, nips or chases, gives them their space and ignores them. We would love to breed her since her temperament, appearance, and health are so amazing. Her owner is an experienced dog owner and dog trainer and our uncle has bred dogs before.
