MAGIC

MAGIC HAS ONLY BEEN LIVING WITH US SINCE MARCH 2025, when she joined our program & we began evaluting her as a future mom. Magic has lived up to her name. Her personality, looks, & energy are just magic. She is very confident & friendly. She joined our pack seamlessly & has brought nothing but good vibes with her. She loves adventures & is ready for any task. She is the tallest female Aussie we have, but she has a grace & elegence about her that are amazing. P.S. Magic is first cousins with Raven too!!

 

Good with kids? We have never had kids younger than 8 nearby. She is generally very friendly & BOMB PROOF! Nothing fazes her at all!

 

Does she bark? Not very often at all. Usually when something is out of place or if she really needs your attention

 

Dominant or submissive? She is very socially aware with other dogs. She is confident with other dogs. She stays out of drama. Our pack welcomed her with such indifference that we were unsure if she was just that chill (which she is) or if they were ignoring her on purpose.

 

Energetic? high drive or couch potato? Low energy, Low drive. 

 

Does she stay inside or outside more? She sleeps in her crate for 8-9 hrs per night. She is inside & outside equally throughout the day. We have a doggie door.

 

Housebroken? Yes Crate trained? Yes

 

Does she have any training or basic obedience? We practice dog psychology & our dogs are very well behaved & have very good manners. She did not come to us with my tricks, but we have been working on "sit" & she is great in her crate or 

 

Does she know her name? Good at recall? She knows her name. She responds without fail & comes every time. We use their names to call them into or out of doors & spaces individually, so they use their name very often.

 

Friendly, shy or unsocialized? friendly but does not seek out attention until she knows you want her. Likes to check you out first, but will do so eagerly & respectfully.

 

Any behavioral issues or concerns? none at all. Magic would do well in any medium activity home that has love & time to spend with this amazing girl & can care for her needs as age creeps up on her.

**LIVING HER BEST RETIRED LIFE AS A FAMILY DOG NEAR WINDSOR, VA** Magic never had pups with Silverside due to having early onset hip dysplasia. Her family was made aware & actually has experience with prevention, signs, & symptoms.

 

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.
