~ The girl we know and love ~
Shimmer is a sweetheart and loves attention, her party trick is with one leap jumping into Kellie's arms and then rolling over to cuddle like a baby - she adores cuddles but has plenty of energy to play fetch, dance around the house, and on weekends ride in the back of Kellie's Rav4 for their weekend adventures.
Shimmer is an active dog, who enjoys spending quality time engaging in many activities.
Shimmer enjoy's herding, agility, and she especially loves dog shows. She gained her Australian Champion title at the age of 18 months and has won many Best of Breed and other awards. She shines under specialist judges as she is balanced with brilliant movement and a extremely pretty expression. In big classes she stands out!!!
Shimmer has passed her instinct herding test, and is now able to participate in Trials.
She loves going to herding clinic's to socialise with her friend "Eski" (a Belgian Shepherd) and enjoys rounding up the Sheep.
Shimmer's nick names are; Shimmy, Shimmeroo, little lizzy, the princess!
Each morning Shimmer greets us with a Toy and a Wooh Wooh
- she doesn't often bark she much prefers to talk.
Shimmer adores her toys and her pink giant octopus is currently her favourite, along with her blue dog!
A toy is never far from Shimmer she carries them EVERYWHERE!
Shimmer is a very feminine and pretty girl, who possesses the type, soundness in movement and temperament we always strive to achieve. Shimmer is catching the eye of many admirers a true showgirl in every sense.
Shimmer has been very successful in the show ring, some of her achievements include:
