Grace is everything I was hoping for. Agile, very pretty, lots of will to please, very focused, a bit reserved, social towards people and other dogs, and a truly versatile dog. Grace is my co-worker every day at my dog training school. She helps me with teaching, she's great with the littlest puppies like chihuahuas and yorkshire terriers, she is also correcting the bulldozer puppies. She loves hiking in the forest, playing with balls, playing dog frisbee and she past her first exam before reaching the age of 1 year. She passed the "Social Pet exam".

I was looking for a second Tigger and there she is! My Amazing Grace. She is where I am. And I'm so happy with this blue eyed amazing girl. She is also a great family dog, our daughter Amy can play with her very nicely and she's very patient with our Lewis. She's great with the smallest puppies in puppy class and she calms agressive dogs during behavioural therapy so nicely. Our daughter Amy is competing with Grace and they've been winning big time! They won the first place at the European Cup Finals with the juniors. Check some awesome pics herunder!

Grace will be bred this fall by our Jake. Her pups will only be placed with people that will work with their dog or at farms. She has a lot of working instinct and will pass that to her pups. Together with the working lines of Jake it will double up. In the meantime we very much enjoy having her and work with her! Hereunder a bunch of nice pics, first pic Amy winning first and second place at the European Cup Finals junior handling and 5 year old Amy in action with Grace!

It all looks awesome, a 5 year old girl having so much fun with her dogs. However, Amy grows up between the dogs and at the dog training school. She has shared many hours watching and training since she was a toddler. It's absolutely not a common thing that a young girl can cooperate with a dog like Amy does. And definitely not with aussies! We are very careful with placing our aussies with families with small children. Aussies are not the easiest dogs with children and visitors.....
