Brown and white dog looking at the camera with front paws on a chair

Dutchess was a Mini Aussie that we purchased as an 8 month old puppy. She lived with us for 13 years before finally passing of CHF on August of 2024.

I had raised Aussies before but never one like her. Her personality was something else. Smart unlike anything I had experienced before to the point where I legitimately think she could understand us talking to her. She’d watch tv with us doing the usual dog side-to-side tilt of the head trying to make out what was happening.

She stole a piece of our hearts and I hope she’s running and playing freely wherever she’s at. Run fast Dutchie!
