I'm a graduate student studying wetlands ecology and restoration. I also do a lot of research on flood mitigation related to wetlands and green infrastructure. Nerd stuff.
My dog Fauna was born around April 2012. She's a red-head black tri with lots of white on her face and an undocked tail. She looks like an odd-colored fluffy and acts like a purebred corgi, but she's probably a corgi-border collie-Australian shepherd mix (or some other type of herding dog). She's an adventure mutt, always ready for a kayaking, hiking, swimming, or hanging out at an LSU tailgate.
Hi Lauren Rae, Thanks for complementing my baby boy Randy. I previously owned his great aunt who was a true fluffy and her hair was more coarse and curly. The breeder thought he would have a glamour coat. It does seem to be a glamour coat but maybe somewhat longer. He has continued to change in appearance for his total 2 years & 4 mo. He resulted from an accidental brother-sister mating so various markings seem to be coming out that may go pretty far back in their ancestry. He does have an advantage of the fluffs and that is that he doesn't shed as badly as the standard corgis but both his great aunt and he were/are heat sensitive that I have had to clip them during the summers. I hate to cut his beautiful coat but he will burn up if I don't. Lois

We got Max as an adult. His coat can get very long but we get him trimmed, neatly but still a fluff.
