Edi in the Finnish Australian Shepherd database
Edi is a handsome black tri aussie male who just loves to play and work. He is a really quick learner so it has been a piece of cake to teach him whatever comes to my mind. Of course it helps that he likes food, so as long as I have a piece of sausage with me, he'll do whatever I ask of him.
He is still young dog, so only time will show whether we will start competing in agility and obedience. That's surely the plan, but only if he keeps interested. Currently we are training obedience and agility as a hobby.
Edi is a dominant male, so it has been important to make clear the rules to him. He is first reserved against people, but once he gets to know them he couldn't get more excited. At the moment we have little problems with other males, but it's under training and I hope one day he'll be tolerant against them.
Edi is a typical aussie at least in one way; he is always eager to do anything with the same enthusiasm. Luckily for my nerves though in the house he knows how to just relax. Then he usually sleeps next to me, that way he is instantly ready to follow me when I go somewhere else.

Tulos: Kolme B:tä tai enemmän: johtajatyyppi
Dominoiva tyyppi,joka pyrkii niskan päälle, joskin lievemmin kuin A-tyyppi. Suositellaan asiallista, tiukahkoa kasvatusta. Pennulle näytettävä paikka perheessä. Mahdollisesti suojelu ja käyttökoira. Ei paras valinta lapsiperheelle.
