Akela

Breed: Australian Shepherd

Barking from: Adelaide, SA

What's up dog?

Akela is a blue Merle bob tail aussie. Whenever we get home she loves to greet us with a toy and wiggling her butt. She is always there when you wake up in the morning to greet you for a cuddle. She has a very fun and loving personality. When I am studying from home she is always right next to you keeping you company. Akela is what we call our little Cookie Monster, she absolutely loves her cookies but also loves her people. Akela is my Velcro pups, bathroom, kitchen, bed, I can very confidently say she wont be far behind. Her little wiggle butt, and exciting personality always makes us laugh, she no doubt brings happiness into the house
