Reed is a full blooded Australian Shepherd. He is 3 years old and a really fantastic dog. He is potty trained, great with kids and other animals and will stay with you and walk off leash. I love him very much. However, we apparently have a city ordinance that only allows three dogs and we have 5. I will be heartbroken to see him go,but any family that ends up with him would find a loving and dedicated family member in him.
