Thank you for the information on earset standards for Aussies... As I had mentioned in my earlier email, I feel that this information should be passed along to...
Unless you glue the ears down to create an artificial fold or have a crease surgically created, there is nothing you can to about the prick ears. Gluing or...
I am curious, how much research did you do on Aussies before you got one? Did you read the ASCA Standard? Did you look at magazines or books? If you did then...

No, the merle pattern itself can be of any variety....i.e. more large black/red spots or less of the black/red, also they can be a powder blue or dark...
Thanks for your help. I've checked out the website and it is a very nice, informative site. I've bookmarked it for future reference. Thanks again! Cherie ...
