Aussie photos

Thanks for the great additional Aussie photos. I'd like to put back the red that you removed, however, because it shows a type other than the long-haired, thick-coated, flop-eared aussie. There are plenty of purebred aussies (akc and/or asca registered) that have longer muzzles, longer legs, shorter coats, and more upright ears. Most are from working lines, not show lines. I know that you took out that distinction, but I think it's important to show that there are large variations in the breed and that doesn't make them any less Aussies.
