ECHO

Echo is one-of-a-kind. She is smart, determined, and always good natured. She is amazing at puzzles and will watch your every move to make sure we are never lonely. She is perfectly healthy. She is a bit more nervous than the others but is an amazing dog. She loves attention and lounging around. She is very observant and learns from watching too. She does know a few tricks and is house and kennel trained. She is good with dogs that she knows, but it takes her some time to warm up to stranger dogs. She is also good with people. We have older children and she has never had any issues with them but she has never been around little kids so not sure about that, but I think she would do wonderful where ever she has love. Echo loves swimming and is "OK" with fetch, but is not the most driven. We take both on and off leash walks and she does amazing with both. Excellent recall skills and very velcro. Her hair is generally very soft and fluffy but shorter than some aussies.

**LIVING HER BEST RETIRED LIFE AS A FAMILY DOG NEAR WILLIAMSBURG, VA**

Some of our Aussies will stay here forever, but some will need a loving home someday. Our dogs are our children; We LOVE them with all our hearts; We are VERY particular as to who our dogs go to, so much in fact you must be within driving distance of me in case it doesn’t work out we will jump in my car in a moment's notice to pick up our dog. If you are interested in a retired dog please know that we will require you to personally come to our home to spend a few hours with us and the dog (or potentially vice versa). If we feel it’s not a good fit we will issue a Refund of Principle & Deposit payments IMMEDIATELY. Our dogs are VERY special and deserve to go to loving homes where they will be spoiled and shown affection daily because they already have that here, but we want them to have more individual love than we can provide with our program. If we feel you and the dog would be a good fit please know that we WILL be emotional and we ask that you truly understand that we love my dogs and hope that you will stay in contact with us from time to time. Just because we are rehoming does not mean for one second that we will stop loving or thinking about them.

If you are interested in adopting one of my retirees, please feel free to apply. & let us know you are considering an adult & we will reach out when we are considering one to rehome so you can come meet them (even several times) & make sure its a good match. We try to post our adults in advance (typically 6 months or so) so we can have a long time to evaluate potential placements to give everyone time to consider. We do charge an adoption fee based on the individual dog, and do require you to sign a legal document that you will give the dog back to us should it not work out. Sometimes we offer discounts on Adult dogs to prior Silverside Aussies owners & even deeper discounts to Owners who own a puppy from that dog 😉 All adults come up to date on vaccines, groomed, spayed/neutered, and microchipped.
