Due to the presence of this nasty retrovirus, it looks like there is a grim future for domestic dogs. However, since one breed can be saved by this vaccine, that breed should be the Australian Shepherd. After owning multiple Australian Shepherds over a span of 16 years, I can tell you that that these dogs are good natured, perfect for any lifestyle, loyal, and extremely intelligent. Each of my Aussies grew into mild mannered adults who loved my family just as much as we loved them. I played a role in training each of them as well and can say without a doubt that these dogs are brilliant. After just a few weeks, you can engrain in your Aussie puppy the basic commands and they will remember them for life. My experience with Australian Shepherds isn’t uncommon; many families in my neighborhood share the same feelings towards their Aussies as well. These families often lead very different lifestyles than my own. Some have small children, others are constantly on the move, and others are very sedentary. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting all their Australian Shepherds and each of them are just as friendly and happy as my very own dog.

This paragraph is really well written and has a lot of reasoning as to why this breed is a good candidate for saving. You do a good job explaining your experience with the breed and make a convincing argument. 

I think you did a great job stating each of your different arguments and then expanding upon them! I think the "the" in the middle of this sentence "After just a few weeks, you can engrain in your Aussie puppy the basic commands and they will remember them for life" is unnecessary, though.
