Congratulations, and Tucker does look proud. Such a beatiful dog. What type of testing did he have to do to attain the vest?

Slyvana, free tip. Do not teach your aussie that fruit grows on trees. We have wild plubs around wind breaks around here. So I was popping them in my mouth a couple years ago, and my aussie was watching me. I fed him a couple I split open, and the fun started. He knows about mulberrys, plumb, chokecherry, apples, pears and peaches now.  No way am I showing him were the squash and cucumbers come from. Aussies are smart enough to be a royal pain in the butt at times.

I've seen evidence many times that dogs really do love having an important job to do. They're are such precious animals, and Tucker is definately a handsome dog.

Sylvana, it certainly appears that he has good looks and brains. Quite a find
Please keep us posted as to his accomplishments, it certainly seems he has the instincts and personality to be a terrific service dog.

He's beautiful, reminds me of my Luna.
Congrats to you both!
A few days ago we pulled in to Publix, a man had a beautiful dog the same breed as Tucker in his car, he said she was his "daughter" and that his actual grown kids are jealous of her. Was so cute.

Cool on the service dog training Syl.
Just wondering of anyone does a double take when you have to call his name out in public?

I'm so delighted to see Tucker now has his S.D. Vest. His appearance of pride is so justified. What a fine looking creature he is!
Have you still got your shirt?

Tucker is a great dog & reminds me of some of the aussies that we have had. Zappa & Sadie being 2 of the best. I will post some pics of them when I find them. I now have Roxie, a border collie, she is smart & a fine dog but just not what a aussie is. I have been looking for a aussie with at least one blue eye & white fur. I want to get her very young. I like to get them young,,, they seem better. When I first got Zappa, I told ppl he was a Kalamazoo leopard dog from Africa. No one disputed this, as he looked soooooo strange. I love U'r Tucker. ,,,joe..

My dad's had two Aussies. They need to work or they can be destructive cause they're bred to work. I used to pull vet duty, hauling my Lab, my dad's Aussie, and my brother's beagle for their shots and exams. The beagle was a wuss, my Lab's tail never slowed down even when the needle went in, and I had to keep the Aussie outside til it was his turn. I'd go to the exam room, tie a muzzle with the gauze they'd left me, then call the vet in. I didn't get it tight enough one time, he nipped my wrist, and I popped him right on the nose, hollering NO. The vet never even blinked .
I'll save the AI story for another day....
