Classic hails from Australia but is a combination of ISDS and ABCA lines. Many thanks to her breeder, Deb Kelly, for sending this wee lady all the way over to the US! 10 week old Classic hopped out of her crate after 14+ hours of travel like she was ready to take over the world then proceeded to travel in cabin with me for another 7 hours home. She's confident, social and drop dead gorgeous. I've been blessed with a lot of amazing dogs in my life so far but sometimes, someone just stands out and screams I'M SPECIAL...and that's how I feel about Classic. 

Classic is well on her way to being ready for her first sheepdog trials...not I just need to work on me! She is an honest dog with a calm, steady nature. She reads her sheep well, rarely makes mistakes and will do anything that is asked of her once she understands. Classic doesn't know a stranger and loves everyone she meets...her favorite human in the WHOLLLLLLE world is Braeden though and she can be a bit over the top with him. She literally vibrates with excitement and flips, rolls and turns herself inside out with each greeting. She's probably the most "raw" dog I have in terms of not a lot of of 'frills'. Not much in the way of tricks or sports training. Just basics of being a happy go lucky farm/sheepdog and she plays the part so very well. Classic travels well, crates well, she's stayed with friends and can be away from home confidently. I try to find faults with this girl but it truly is hard. Physically I'd like to see a bit more length of neck and maybe a bit more layback in her shoulder. She's got great, tight feet (my foot fetish is showing!) however with pink pads they can be a wee bit sensitive when we have really rough ground to cover. She's got a minimal, medium coat that is easy wash and wear and is not overly sensitive to the temperature extremes we experience here.
