Meet Maizie — your new strikingly beautiful, tri-coloured Australian Shepherd companion in the premium Douglas DLux range. The Australian Shepherd is one of the most breathtakingly beautiful and deeply intelligent breeds in the world — and the tri-colour coat takes that beauty in a completely different and equally magnificent direction to the blue merle. That gorgeous combination of rich black, warm copper and crisp white with those beautifully detailed breed-specific markings, those bright amber eyes that seem to miss absolutely nothing, that soft leatherette nose with beautifully detailed jowls, those white-tipped bean-weighted paws and that wonderfully athletic and elegant silhouette — and Maizie captures every single bit of that magnificent Aussie tri-colour beauty in the most luxurious DLux form. At 385 grams and a generous 18.5 inches long Maizie is a beautifully substantial and deeply impressive ESSA.
Perfect for neurodivergent children and adults, anxious kids, or anyone who has ever been completely captivated by an Australian Shepherd's extraordinary combination of breathtaking beauty, fierce intelligence and deeply devoted, energetic loyalty. Aussies are famously intuitive — they seem to always know exactly what you need and exactly how you're feeling — and Maizie brings all of that wonderful, perceptive, completely devoted energy home with you in the most premium, beautifully crafted DLux form. If you love Sinclair our 16" Australian Shepherd, Steward our 8" Australian Shepherd or Skylar our bi-blue DLux Australian Shepherd, Maizie is the gorgeous tri-colour DLux version — equally magnificent, equally devoted and equally impossible to resist.
