Luca

My name is Luca.  I’m an Australian shepherd full of beans.  This is a photo of me when I first came to my humans who live in the south of France and Denmark.  Behind me is Bloubelle who is much older than I am but we get along.  I’m now as big as she is or a trifle bigger because my fur sticks out more.  In summer I get blonder but in winter I’m a very handsome russet.  My white socks are quite elegant, but often dirty because I go for every puddle, creek, stream, river and then I’m muddy.  I’ve been to dog school and can do the basics, but I’m not very focused. When we’re in Denmark we meet lots of other dogs and I play like mad.  When we go to kennels I play non-stop too.  This gives Bloubelle a break as she’s not specially playful and prefers to snooze.  I could chase sticks for hours.  I make a point, however, of never bringing them back.
