Fender was a gift from my husband Andy.  The people who had her needed a right rear fender for their Ford truck so Andy traded the fender for the dog so I named her Fender.  Later the people decided they wanted a bumper instead of the fender but I wasn't’t going to change her name.  She is 18” tall and was supposed to be a mini- Australian Shepherd but she grew taller than both of her parents so she is the tallest that a mini can be.  We then purchased a blue merle male for her, he is only 14” tall and is full grown.  We’ve waited almost three heat cycles for him to figure out that four inch difference.  We now have puppies, they were born December 1st, they are now 9 days old and I can’t wait for them to open their eyes.  Will post more pic’s in another week or so.
