My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you one of those crazy people that love herding dog antics? Do you find it helpful when a dog nudges, nips and assists you along your way? Do you ever look at a gaggle of geese and think `someone needs to instill a little order in that lot of slackers`? Then you need Russ.
Russ`s owner went off to serve his country. Russ was left with Mom and Dad. The plan was for Russ and his owner to reunite eventually. Unfortunately, Russ`s owner will not be able to take his little buddy back after all. Mom and Dad would have kept on keeping him, but Russ developed the unpleasant habit of guarding Mom from Dad when they were all at the house together. Alone with Dad, Russ was fine.
Come meet him and see if he can explain himself. I`ve asked him but he`s not talking. Maybe he`ll spill the beans to one of you crazy heeler folk.
