I am originally from Maryland, I moved to Iowa in 2022 after meeting my Husband. Once moved we (I) decided to get a puppy. By happenstance we ended up with our very first Aussie in which I named Potato. I had no intention of ever pursuing the breed because honestly I thought they were a tad overdone, but boy was I wrong. Potato very quickly opened my eyes to just why it seems "everyone" has an Aussie. He is kind, smart, funny, loving, protective, energetic, and just everything you could ever ask for in a best friend. Which is why I decided to embark on my breed preservation journey and be a part of the Australian Shepherds success.
