• “Oso is a very high energy toy Australian shepherd! we received him from a breeder in 2022 and have had him since he was 8 weeks old. he is super intelligent, almost too intelligent and loves to pick on us. he acts like he is a bigger than his small size, but is really just a nervous little baby. we are trying to train him more commands and recall, so we try to look for spaces with little distractions.“
