Meet auggie
A few years ago after a string of very heavy, unexpected losses Dave & I looked around and couldn’t figure out how we ended up with mostly small dogs - it was truly an about face from where we started. Shortly after the realization Auggie popped up in our social feed from our favorite rescue, Snooty Giggles. Dave immediately contacted Shawn (the head of the rescue) and was told that someone was going to evaluate Auggie the following day to see if he would make a good service dog but if that didn’t work out we could pick him up. We picked him up the next day and that’s all that needs to be said about his assessment.?
Auggie is a bruiser, one of the softest beings you will come across, incredibly sweet, incredibly loving and like a bull in a china shop. He fancies himself an avid hunter but it’s a lot of action for no payoff (which we appreciate). He scares the bejinkles out of passerbys with his looks and his deep bark but the joke's on them because his DNA revealed that he is mostly golden retriever and would likely just lick intruders to death. He is truly a gem and a lovable goofball.
Auggie wears our Seamus-1 decorative adjustable collar with a custom id tag and he’s pretty easy on collars. This is his original collar so he's been wearing it for 3 years.

Collars are photographed in their current, worn state (mileage may vary). Auggie’s coat is really dry and silky so he’s only hard on collars in that he’s incredibly active and is always charging quickly through wooded areas. We do need to be able to grab him and handle him (bull in china shop as I said) so he’s in our decorative adjustable collar and it’s been a great match for him.
