DOB 2-19-95, OFA Good
AS-13433G52M Once upon a time, when springtime was just beginning to visit south Alabama in 1995, there was born at Pincie Creek a little red merle boy that we immediately decided was a "keeper". We liked his color and markings, and as he grew older we loved his temperament. "Sonny", as we call him (because he was the first Blue Bear son we kept), is one of the sweetest, if not THE sweetest, Aussies we’ve ever owned. We realized right away that he had inherited his mother’s extremely calm and biddable temperament. Sonny is easy going and laid back, never gets excited, and keeps his cool in all situations. He’s so quiet you hardly know he’s around, it’s very unusual for him to bark unless he needs to in order to move stock. He’s affectionate and loving, and will take commands from just about anyone. He’s Elaine’s and Adam’s main chore dog when Bear’s not around, because he works well for them and also can handle anything that needs doing without being pushy about it. His favorite trick is the "army crawl" that Roger taught him, when he crawls like a soldier under barbed wire on the ground, then takes off like a rocket when Roger tells him to "run for it". Sonny is a little smaller than most of our males, about 19 1/2 inches, 40 pounds. He’s correct, moderate in bone and coat, and has a head like his sire, with a perfect earset and scissors bite, and amber eyes. Sonny was a very easy dog to train and trial, and finished his WTCH, RD, and RTDsc with ease. Like most of the pups from our "Golden Cross" (Blue Bear x Reba), he is a strong fetch dog that always works with, never against, his handler. If we had to recommend one of our dogs for a novice handler, it would be Sonny. He has a lot to offer our breed and will always be one of our favorite Aussies.
