Bear is a well built boy with a great out-going personality and is willing to please. He's be good as a pet or ranch dog. Moves well with herding instinct, AKC registration ensures he's 100% Australian Shepherd with their DNA verification for generations. He's well socialized with our other Aussies, cattle, chickens and children. Knows a doggy door, and I already taught him to sit in two training sessions. He's had dew claws removed, tail docked, is de-wormed regularly, been microchipped, and has had all 4 of his puppy shots. We are located near Topeka, Ks and are a State-licensed and inspected small breeder. Our puppies get lots of love and good care and it shows! See www.echocliffaussies.com for more information. He's beeen marked down to $500, so a super bargin for a quality Australian Shepherd. Photos of parents also attached
