My Aussie, Cody

Hiya! I'm newer here, but thought I'd show off some pictures of my Australian Shepherd Cody. We adopted him from the OSPCA when he was about 10 months old, and came with his share of issues. Were pretty positive he had been abused and neglected, he came to us knowing nothing and moving like a cat. He even tried sitting on our windowsills when he first came home. Luckily he doesn't try that anymore! It took us an incredibly long time to get him to where he is now, but he is still very scared of strangers and especially children, but its at a controllable level where he will now let them approach and pet him.

Anyway, here are some pictures of him. Trying to pick my favorites to show is hard, lol. He is now 7 years old, and I'm hoping we'll start agility competitions in the summer, most likely for fun in veterans class just to get him out onto the field, I know he'll love it! Here's a video from today of us having some fun in the snow with agility

He is absolutely adorable. I love the one of him looking all tired out in the grass.
I also love the shot of your toes! Lol.

He's beautiful, and you must be doing an amazing job to raise a dog has content as he seems to be!

I wish I could download video over my modem :sad: I'd love to see handsome Cody in action! He looks so happy all tuckered out in the grass.

He's a very lucky guy to have come to you!

Thank you, I'm so glad I have him, he's my best buddy It's just difficult right now with my hand injury to be able to walk him, so I'm trying my best to keep him occupied with toys and backyard play / agility practice. I can't wait for my hand to be all better so I can get back to the field more often. (which is where the grass picture was taken) He loves his toys, it's just too cute.

YAY Another Aussie!!!!

Yup, we're into flyball, agility, and rally-o, but so far only compete in flyball because agility is too expensive and she's not calm enough for rally yet.

Good luck with the agility, I'm sure he'll do great!!!! They're such a good breed for sports.
