*Trained Yearling* / "Aspen"

Aspen was born here on the farm a little over a year ago. She was a favorite puppy of mine in her litter - so friendly and engaging. She loved everyone and everything. I knew she would make an amazing pet. She got adopted by a woman in NYC, and that is where she has been living until recently. Aspen was living a true city dog life in bustling midtown Manhattan complete with a dog walker and a busy social life of her own. I can tell that Aspen has spent time at sidewalk cafés because she is very good at just settling down and relaxing at your feet, wherever you are. She is a calm observer of the world. Sadly, Aspen's first owner got laid off from her job and had to return Aspen to us. Aspen has been very resilient in the face of all this recent change and is just happy to be wherever you are. She is such a content and peaceful being. Aspen's price is higher than our sheepdog puppy price because of the high level of socialization and training she already has. She needs to go to a home who values her as the once in a lifetime type of perfect dog that she is. A lot of time and care has gone into this girlie. She is a "turn key dog". Aspen is crate trained, housebroken, she walks well on leash in any surroundings, and is such a pleasant and gentle giant. She is past the destructive puppy phase, does not mouth or bite, in a word, she is an angel. Aspen is friendly with all people on a therapy dog level. She actively seeks interaction with anyone who shows interest in connecting with her. She is extremely intuitive and can tell who is having a rough day and needs a soft snowball cuddle and some extra love from her. Aspen is big and strong so also has potential as a mobility service dog. True to her breeds, Aspen has an independent/stubborn streak, but she more than makes up for her "selective listening" (lol) with her super affectionate and loving nature.
