Salem came to us from Katie Van de Sandt of McVan Australian Shepherds in Sweet Home, OR.  I was lucky enough to hear about this girl on Aussieboard and jumped at the chance to bring her home.  This girlie was sweet, sassy and athletic as all get out.  She debuted in agility during the 2013 ASCA Nationals pre-trials with 3 Q's and her Jumpers title.  Her career was put on hold due to my pregnancy and then hers, but she was such a fun dog to live with and love.

Salem was spayed after producing two lovely litters.  We're so proud of her puppies and their accomplishments!

​We lost her to complications from a lung mass and severe arthritis in January 2023. Life won't be the same without her fiery spirit around the house.
