@ru; no. It’s a recognized breed color. It’s just with how light ee red is that people mislabel.
On another note, Kasper loves the treadmill my mom just got. Loki is not too fond of it so we’re letting him decide when he’s ready to walk on it.

hello ! i'm looking for two different dogs, a sports prospect + a SD prospect, so i hope this makes sense, if there's only one answer for something, it just means that they're the same. i won't be getting them for like 2 1/2 years, but i'm starting to look into it now so that i can find a good breeder, etc.
Have you had dogs before? What breeds?
pet dogs, i’ve only ever had a bullmastiff and a flat-coated retriever mix. i’ve been involved with a rescue group for years, so i’ve had experience with quite a few different breeds and mixes. the only breeds that i haven't owned that i have really significant experience with is staffordshire bull terriers, and then all of the labrador retrievers that I’ve been working with.

Are there any breeds that have already caught your eye? If so, why?
01. golden retrievers and flat-coated retrievers. after reading this form, a golden retriever probably sounds like the obvious choice, but i’m just looking to see if there are any other breeds i’ve looked over. the two that i mentioned fit all of my requirements, i’m just open to more options.
02. australian shepherds!

What kind of grooming needs are you prepared to handle?
01. i’m looking for a breed that doesn’t shed an insane amount, and one that doesn’t need to go to a groomer. we can do lots of daily brushing and regular baths.
02. i don't mind too much about shedding, though it would be nice if it didn't shed much.

What kind of energy level are you looking for?
01. a dog that’s able to spend most of the day walking around, but has an off-switch. when i do get the dog, i’ll be able to go to university, so they need to to be able to sleep through things like classes, and i hope to travel, so they’ll need to be able to rest through either short or long flights.
02. quite a lot of energy! but one that if there's a day where i'm unable to do much, they'll be content with playing a big game of fetch and running around.

What do you plan on doing with your dog?
01. if all goes well s/he’ll be a psychiatric service dog
02. agility and SAR, maybe some disc stuff, depending on the breed. we hope to go on a lot of hikes too!

What size dog are you wanting?
01. size is quite specific. something over 25kg/55lbs, and at the very least, 22’’ at the withers.
02. size doesn't matter! though i'd rather not have anything smaller than an aussie.

What age dog are you looking for?
a puppy.

What kind of lifestyle do you live?
i'm not insanely active, but i like to hike a lot and do sports with my current dog. though i'm able to change based on what the dog needs.
quick recap;
01. psd prospect, over 25kg/55lbs, over 22’’ at the withers, long hair, doesn't shed a scary amount of hair.
02. sports prospect + sar, no other requirements other than them not being tiny.
