For my 18th birthday my mother took me to the shelter where i found a litter of austrailian shepherd puppies, they were two months old. It was funny because twy mixed up the puppies and we thought i was getting a male puppy but then after an hr of having her at home the shelter called and said they made a mistake but we decide to keep her. It was one of the best decision i made. Shes now 4 and my best friend, we go every where together and saphire loves when we visit my horse. She can do all sorta of tricks and loves when we go trail riding because its one big walk for her and she can go swimming along with playing other dogs.
