New Breed... Australian Sand Shepherds

[Anneke]

Here is how the breed came about...
Take two Australian shepherds and add al little water

Then add some sand

And more sand

And some more sand

What is the purpose of this new breed? To collect and bring home as much sand as they can find and then spread out the sand in the house slowly over the course of the evening

HAHAHAHAHAA!!!!!! I believed you, for a second there!!! Too funny Anneke!!!!
So, how do you like having Australian Sand Shepherds?
Great pics, btw!!!

 

[Mr-Remington]

Oh My God! I would go crazy if Remi got that sandy. I would love to take him to the beach but his recall isn't strong enough yet.

 

[southerngirl]

I so feel for it. Your Australian sand Shepards are adorable.

Well... lets just say... it's sandy

I don't mind them being dirty, especcially when they had so much fun. They clean up pretty well by themselves and the vaccuum does the rest.
I am considering pulling out the laminate floor and just putting in sand...

 

[Evie]

Lol they look like they had a blast!!!

Evie comes home looking like that quite often too.... Does that make her a Sand Collie?

 

[Dice Smith]

LOL I seriously can't stop laughing!! I totally fell for it! I was like omg I have to see what kind of breed this is. Hahahaha they look extra huggable now. And your photos are so amazing! The close up of Cooper's face is flawless, it make me wanna steal him!

LOLOLOL

Now my crew do the same but then they bring it all into the bed!! Gracious after a good lake romp I am finding sand in weird places for weeks!

Oeeeh i think this new breed comes also in a other variantion, the australian sand kelpie

 

[Linda A]

Too funny!! Loved the photos!

 

[Adrianna & Calvin]

I suspect that if you do a back-cross with a garden hose that has good water pressure, you will get the Aussies back :-)

Now this breed, the Mud Puppy, is hopeless. It doesn't smell too great either.

Sadly, the use of a tub only creates another breed, the doe-eyed Whaddidowrong Pup:

[Dlilly]

Haha, I thought you were serious. XP

[Caiti]

Adorable! When it comes to bath time, I own a doe-eyed whatdididowrong pup

I cannot stop laughing at BOTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Seriously, I did fall for the new breed good one Anneke!!!!!!! Just love that breed though, and your photos are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Hum, new style of decor, inside sand pit for dogs, could catch on, you never know.

A & C I know that look!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had one myself, now I have the "I'm gonna report you to Animal Welfare for cruelty to your loving dog" look from Zeus. Ra Kismet just give me the "I wanna play, hey don't you wanna share my bath time too" look and also physically 'shares' bath time with me.

HA HA HA HA HA OMG that was funny!!! I so got suckered!!! I gotta get in on this

Here's another Recipe for a new breed

Take a wheat-coloured Terrier

Add in a puddle of pure clay silt

and you get the Clay-legged Terrier!

You can change it up a little and put the Terrier in a Mud pit to get a Mud-legged Terrier

or a Mud face and legged Terrier

The one I see here most, though, is the snow Terrier
