MEET IVY! So I did check with the shelter and she is in fact an Australian Shepherd, She’s the black tricolor. I had no idea there were so many different coats for this breed. Check it out:

ALSO I have to add, this is Chessy’s birthday present, she’s I think four months old. She’s a beauty and so far has been very sweet. She loves the water which is great because Chessy has just told me that she’s training to be a lifeguard. We will be an unstoppable team in Florida when it comes to helping people, saving lives, etc. How’d I get this lucky? She’s a dream, beautiful, compassionate, loyal. She’s exceptional.
(OOC: Lauren, there are tons of pix of this dog, more as an adult then a puppy, but still if you wanted to look for whatever reason they are on this chick’s instagram! (alainacase) so if you wanted to let it grow up you can find a picture there, and so on.)
