I remembered in the past an Australian cattle dog name bluey had a busy life herding livestock but now she passed away which is why the oldest dog ever lived was female and I also think blues is a good name for owners who are a fan of the tv series bluey.

We are getting an Australian Shepherd puppy. We found one with blue eyes and patches of copper colors. I lived and working in Australia for years, and back in the years when I had hair, it was red. I was amused when my Aussie mates called me "Bluey", So I took one look at this cute little puppy with blue eyes, and called him Bluey.
