Phoenix - Co--Owned with SheildMaiden Stock Farm in Florida
Phoenix is from our last Ambrosia litter with Firenze and is co-owned with Katie in Florida at Sheildmaiden's Stock Farm.
She is the perfect blend of a devoted, snuggly, companion, with the brains, structure, and athleticism of a top tier sports dog. Her demeanor in public or around strangers (humans or dogs alike) is reserved without being fearful, but once you are in her inner circle you will be showered with the sweetest love and affection. She loves disc games, and is quick to retrieve her rollers and even faster to set up for the next throw. She is a softer dog who listens intently to direction and is very handler focused, but is steady and confident in a variety of environments and activities. She has started working on herding with chickens, ducks, and sheep, and shows excellent promise. She has more natural "eye" than is typical of many aussies and will even stalk at times. At sporting events she is interested and engaged without being high arousal / overly excited or anxious. Her greatest reward is praise, but she has high food drive as well. She has medium prey and toy drive, but that increases with her understanding of the game you want her to play. She has a very thoughtful and calm energy, while still being attentive and eager.
