So what is she like to live with?  She is tough as nails and soft as butter.  She runs the fields with the Aussie Posse, a tough, persistent hunter capable of dispatching small game.  Highly intelligent, she considers the situation before plunging in, and is quick and trainable.  Dori is affectionate, loyal and fearless.  What motivates her?  Food, of course, but also admiration.  She's a girly girl who loves to be admired.  She enjoys having her plush topknot combed, and sits patiently for our nightly grooming.

So if you see us at a show, please come and say hello to Dori, the Duchess of Dandieland.

Thanks to Lee Palmer for letting Dori come live with us, and to Bill and Sharon Ellis for their support and mentoring.
