Australian Shepherd
The Australian Shepherd is a medium-sized dog breed known for its intelligence, agility, and unique appearance. It has a dense, weather-resistant double coat that can be straight or wavy and comes in various color combinations. The eyes are often their most distinctive feature, with shades of blue, amber, brown, or even heterochromatic.
Australian Shepherds are strong-built, standing between 46 and 58 cm and weighing between 18 and 29 kg. They are built for herding and love to run, hunt, and work. They require exercise and stimulation to keep them happy and healthy. They are very loyal, affectionate, and protective of their owners, making them excellent family pets and working dogs.

March 30, 1863
Zev is the pet of Arendt Lutz. He is a purebred Australian Shepherd and was born as the youngest of the litter on March 30, 1863 (on the birthday of Arendt). While his siblings were all adopted and went to homes in Prussia, Zev remained in Kilden to be adopted by the Lutz family as a birthday present for Arendt Lutz. Arendt had to wait for a few weeks before he was able to pick Zev up since he was still too young to be adopted. The two developed a strong and inseparable relationship. Arendt takes his dog with him on his adventures and Zev is often his sole companion. Zev sleeps on his bed in his bedroom, and the two even have lunch together during work.
