Naughty was co-bred with Sheila Hoskins at Woodridge Aussies and is owned by Teresa at Crimson MAS. This special girl isn’t a naughty puppy though, she is very sweet and loves to cuddle. Naughty’s biggest vice is that she loves to hide her toys and chew  toys so she can guard them against the other dogs. Naughty is 15 1/2” tall.
