No Ordinary Mini Australian Shepard!

Hi! My name is Picasso and I'm a tricolor merle purebred Mini Australian Shepherd. Pretty special, eh?
My breeder gave me my name, and my humans are artists, so I was just perfect for them! When my owner found me online, it was love at first sight. I'm the prettiest little ball of fluff ever, and boy, do I have fluff. It's everywhere, so my family is always reminded how cute I am.
Besides leaving fluff all about, I'm also very good at protecting my owner. When she takes me on walks, I make sure no other people or dogs ever come near her! And if they do, I bite them so fast and fierce, they don't know what happened! So, my owner really appreciates my quick reflexes. She makes sure we stay far away from others!
My favorite activity has always been running and leaping high in the air to catch a tennis ball, although I do get a little tired nowadays. Nice, smelly, dirty tennis balls are my favorite toy to roll on and hide. I'm also great at standing still in the sink to get my paws washed when I come in all muddy.
Now, being just over 9 years old, I'm even more spoiled. I love to relax on the shady grass, chewing on it, and nap in my favorite velvet chair on a fluffy blanket, keeping watch and barking. What a great life I have!
