We would like you to meet a very special puppy; this is Matilda, an Australian Cattle Dog, and her friend Steve.  Matilda is owned by Cynthia Entrekin who also owns Matilda's grandmother, Astra. Matilda was born in February and is pictured here at her first Puppy Plan appointment on May 8th when she weighed 16.2 pounds.  It is fascinating to watch this herding - type of dog grow up, and it will be fun to see Matilda develop her herding instincts!
