Welcome to
RaineDance Australian Shepherds

Beautiful, intelligent, responsive, energetic and FULL of personality, Aussies have what it takes to do ANYTHING.

Best of Breed Puppy!

Best of Opposite Sex Puppy!
Scarlet made herself known this weekend. If she is anything like her Grandma, she didn't like seeing brother get the ribbon the last time out! <G> I say this because I am told she is full of beans, so I can't help make the comparison. We have seen alot of Grandma in Baron's babes so I may not be too far off base.  Scarlet went BOS to her brother on Fri, & took BOB Sat AM and BOS Sat pm, winning her class all 4 shows. NICE!
Congrats to Lisa Cozad of Expression Aussies! What an amazing weekend!!
