Kirk, the Dog of the Day
Name: Kirk
Age: 1.5 years old
Gender: Male Breed: Australian Shepherd
Home: Virginia, USA
 
   Meet James Tiberius "Kirk," just Kirk for short! He's a nut, insanely smart, loving, and loves mud. He's definitely my best bud we do almost everything together.

    Kirk is like any kid. Always into stuff or getting muddy. But he's smart enough to understand what's his and what he shouldn't mess with. We have even left our snacks out for days on end (chips or whatever) and he won't touch them! He's one smart boy.

    He know's a ton of tricks and I am always working on more. Currently trying to teach him left/right by voice command. He loves any sort of tennis/racket ball. He drops them down stairs or hills and chases them ... Self entertaining. You can pretty much can always find one in his mouth.

    He's very independent; but I trained him to be so as I and my girlfriend work during the day. In my research before we got him, we found out they are supposed to be terrors with separation anxiety so I nipped that in the bud when he was a pup. I have no fear of him running off; in the neighborhood, friends house, or wherever he can be off lead. He loves running around in the woods but always stays close.

    Kirk is my first Aussie. I have always had a thing for them since I was younger. The question of a dog came up when my girlfriend moved in a few years ago and I mentioned an Aussie. She looked into the breed and we ended up with one. She even wants a second ... but I'm unsure of the extra work involved with two muddy dogs needing baths, food, brushing, and all the other fun stuff! We love him!
