One of my seven dogs is 1/2 Australian sheppard. His name is Apolo Anton
Ono Kramer Hall. ( He is named after the speed skater Apolo Ono because he would run big circles in the back yard and really lean into it. We learned from early on that Apolo was a very smart dog. He was so easy to train all the basic commands like Sit, shake hands and lay down and speak.
When he had learned those, we taught him how to shut the door, look out the window and soon he learned how to take something to the other person. He waits until we say " Go ahead " and then eat. He is so attentive , looking straight in your eye for any command. If we lived in a big city, I know Apolo
is capable of doing much more as a service dog. He would do so good at fly ball
and other contests for dogs. We have been so proud of him, he is so special.
Truly a believer, Doodle bug
