"My dog Shadow is a blue-speckled Australian Cattle Dog. I'm an American living in the Asian part of Russia (actually 26 miles over the European/Asian border). I wanted an ACD after meeting my son's rescued, mixed ACD while on a visit to the U.S. So after returning to Russia, I located a breeder in Germany (who brought Shadow’s grandmother directly from Australia) and flew to pick up Shadow when he was 12 weeks old. He will be 4 years old this October. This picture, taken by a friend and sent at his urging, is of Shadow in a field where we play, near my apartment in Russia. He creates quite a stir here because to his breeders, Shadow may be the only “Russian” Australian Cattle Dog. Everyone wants to know what breed he is and where I got him. He is very true to his breed and to his name—he is definitely my “second” shadow, following me everywhere, whether inside or out. His favorite things are his chew bone and his Kong bouncer and, like all dogs, having his belly scratched. I have all Cesar Millan's books, DVDs, and I subscribe to his newsletter. Unfortunately, living in Russia precludes my watching his TV show. Having had some previous obedience training experience, I did okay with Shadow but Cesar has definitely improved my handling of Shadow."
