Chris Australian Shepherd Chestertown, MD

1ish year old rough coated neutered male -- likely aussie . Chris has been here a couple of months, mostly because he's a bit of an odd duck -- he's very devoted to his person, and is responsive and affectionate, but can be standoffish with folks he doesn't know. . Chris was picked up stray and not reclaimed, and arrived with a harsh, matted coat which is beginning to grow out. He's going to be quite the stunner once he goes through a shed, and becomes fit. We have no history with children or cats. . Chris is well crate trained, enjoys other dogs, and is super bright. He is very food motivated, and may make a nice sports partner for the right human.
