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.
