Aussalier

Your Aussalier is lying on the floor with their head on your foot, one eye half-open and tracking you like a tiny, merle-speckled air traffic controller who refuses to go off duty. They've got the Aussie brain — the one that's always working, always watching, always three steps ahead of whatever you're about to do — but it's been dialed down to Cavalier speed, which means instead of herding sheep they're herding you toward the couch for another snuggle session. This is a dog that wants to work, but their definition of work is maintaining constant physical contact while looking heartbreakingly beautiful. They're smart enough to learn anything and sweet enough to pretend they didn't just outsmart you. Half velvet lap dog, half miniature ranch hand, one hundred percent convinced that wherever you are is exactly where they need to be.
