Dog Star

The Dog Star of the month features dogs submitted by their owners. The dogs we share our lives with are very special for many reasons. Submit your dog and tell site visitors why your dog is a star. Australian Cattle Dogs, of course, will have preference in our selection. We will notify you when your dog is our star. Be sure to submit a photograph of your star to accompany your submission.

Zeus

Our Dog Star for the holidays is Zeus who lives with Anne & Greg Mitchell and their children in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Greg is currently in Iraq with our military forces and not expected home until springtime.

Happy Holidays to All
Especially Greg Mitchell
and his fellow soldiers in Iraq!

We also really truly love our 1 1/2 year old ACD. My husband is in the Army and in Iraq now so as a surprise, I've been working on some basic obedience with Zeus. He's really impressed us. Not only is Zeus a super dog, he's awesome with our 11 month old baby girl. Zeus and his special person

He even charges toward the stairs (even though the baby gate is closed) and puts himself in front of her so she won't fall. He's so gentle and patient with her and all children. He herds our other dog (A Basset Hound named Beauregard) around the house and yard. I believe Zeus picks up on everyday language because he's able to do stuff I've never even taught him. I was reluctant at first to take an ACD out of the country to live in the suburbs. Zeus, however, has adapted so well....well, as long as he gets a hearty hike each day. I love this breed and especially this dog.
