Kemosabe

Kemosabe

Kemosabe is a tricolor Australian Shepherd of the BioStar Aussie Tribe.  You can tell it’s him, because he’s the one without the black eye mask.

His favorite things involve bison, treats, jumping in the creek, chewing on sticks, and snuggling.  His less favorite things are weight-loss diets, cats, anything that takes the spotlight off of him, and long road trips.

Kemosable regularly adds to BioStar’s blog to share his stories and his ever-increasing knowledge of canine nutrition.
