Hey guys!
Today I want to present to you my lovely dog Yara.
The photo has been taken a while ago but she doesn't change much so I thought this photo still is perfect for introducing her to you :)
I already thought about writing about her last semester but then I just forgot.. so, here comes finally a blog post about my dog!

Yara is an Australian Shepherd Dog. The colour of her fur is called "blue merle". When I decided to buy a dog it was clear from the beginning that I wanted to buy an Australian Shepherd because these dogs are incredibly smart, active and have a lot of energy. One fact I have to say: She's not thoroughbred. Those dogs are pretty overbred. There are many that come with overbreeding! This is why I wanted an underbred Australian Shepherd. The mother of Yara is an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie crossbreed.

The picture on the left was taken when she was around 8 weeks old. I took her home with me on January 8th, 2012. This was one oft the best days in my entire life. Having a dog is something you can't compare to anything else! She was "my little baby" :)
Australian Shepherd Dogs were originally used for sheep herding. Today they are also used for sheep herding and other herding rituals. These dogs are incredibly useful for these things because they WANT to learn all kinds of things. They are thrilled when they think there might come a new command from their owner and they WANT to fulfill everything their owner wants. So this means, if your Australian Shepherd Dog is trained well, you can do ANYTHING with this dog.
I once tried to give her a new command and it took Yara about 5 minutes to get it. It's almost unbelievable that there are animals which are SO smart!
Yara isn't the only dog in our household in Upper Austria. Our second dog is a Bernese mountain dog. Even though this breed is also overbred we bought a thoroughbred Bernese mountain dog. We didn't regret it! Btw, his name is "Benji" :)
Having a dog means that you also have to care about the dog. You have to go outside with it and you also have to busy yourself with your dog - no excuse. Even if you are busy with studying or something else - always keep in mind, your dog needs you! Think about it before you buy one. There are so many dogs that live on the streets.
She always loves to sleep on my couch - on her back.
