Behold my Aussie Orla the Medium Aussie

This is our wonderful girl Orla. She came to us a year and a half ago as a rescue. Didn't understand any words, frightened of most situations and people... Once she figured out she was safe she set to work becoming an amazing dog. Such a delight, and so glad we took a chance on her.

We wanted to find out more about her background, so did DNA testing. Turns out she's roughly 55% full size Aussie and 45% mini. So a "midi Aussie" I guess. She weighs 31lbs. As a friend said "She's perfect! Big enough to be a real dog and little enough to fit into whatever you're doing."

She’s a cute dog, if my wife and I were to get another , we’d want a red merle female.

My boy Märzen is very similar. His DNA testing came back 65% Standard Aussie, 35% Mini Aussie. At 8 months old, he’s about 18” tall at the shoulder and 34-35 lbs.
