Arrival Story:
We'd gone to the breeder's house (Mike Boughton of Rainbow Aussies) to check out a litter of 3-wk-old puppies -- we were definitely NOT planning on getting a dog that day. But after being grilled by Mike about why we wanted an Aussie, what temperment we wanted, etc., he decided that Nick (who was then about 13 wks old) was the dog for us. And he was right!

Bio:
Nick is a wonderful, goofy, devoted, funny, loving boy. He is not a snuggler but he does love his people (us and all his other human friends) like mad. He gives you a look that tells you just how much he likes you. Even when he is being naughty, you can't help but adore him.

The Groups I'm In:
