That was a nice article. Thanks. My biggest problem really is I'm not sure I would enjoy such a small dog, I mean sure traveling and expenses will make a smaller dog easier to keep and travel with but I love large dogs. Plus, my daughter will be 4 hear soon and I've been told collies do much...

So I'm sure yoi have seen this question before, but i hope you will still give me your thoughts again. So I'm very stuck between the collie and sheltie. My old sheltie breeder is trying to talk me into a sheltie (obviously) lol. Even offered me first pick (after her of course) to ensure I...

Yep. Like I've said before I'm first on the list, and she will be watching the pups and knows exactly what i want. Liked your suggestions. Thanks.

I loved your post Caro. Thank you. I guess when I say bold it's aagain coming back to my exs sheltie In comparison. She was very cautious. We would try to get her to come across a log or jump up on a rock and she would just sit there and maybe whine or look for another way where as my Aussie...

Haha. Reminds you to keep it real. That's great. Lucky you to have couch potato aussies lol. That's what I'm looking for though a nice off switch and something that won't go batty if we miss a day of hard stuff outside. And you may hear me ssay that. I won't say it can't happen...

Yay for God complex lol. Yes, she was prissy. Lol. Drove me insane. But again she was special and a little darling. I'm glad that they have some drive in a smaller package. I mean, aussie had a terrible off switch and rainy days? Forget burning off energy in the house, you would lose...

That an aussies give me a god complex I enjoy. Lol. I was raised with beagles, and they loved you but whatever. Aussies, you are just the center of their world and you dint have to work to hard for that. Lol

Yes I'll be going with a male. That sounds like an aussie to me. Honestly, in an ideal world it would always be an Aussie, but becoming a single mom, smaller house now, an Aussie just no longer fits in my life. My exs sheltie though was lovely though and would fit perfectly, there...

Wow, well I appreciate that big story and giving a complete picture in the difference. Yes, all my Aussies have been males, i just prefer males to females in any species. Lol. I just find them overall more cuddly and quirky which I enjoy. I guess, it's just hard to let go of what you...

I actually read that right off the bat lol. I liked what you said about Aussies big ol hearts. And I guess that's what I'm so afraid to lose. I loved my Aussies big ol heart and that guy looked at me and just knew I was the whole world, but your right. He was smart but ummm well ya he was a big...

Thanks that was pretty spot on. Ya, I've got the perfect breeder. I'm first on the litter so I pretty much get pick of the litter aside from the breeder of course. Lol. I've already talked about a lower energy pup, but with a little boldness and outgoing and willingness to try new things. My exs...

I've always had Aussies, they are honestly my heart breed and due to changes in my life their size (last boy was 70lbs) and high demand energy doesn't fit my life anymore. I know an amazing breeder from my exs sheltie and i feel like they can fit in my new life in a lot of ways, but im afraid im...

Welcome Im in Ohio too. Outside Canton, in Millersburg!!

Oh yes. I agree. We don't plan on using that method again on her, we didn't use it in the first place. I was just saying how after it happened its made a difference, not that I want to do it again. We have now started working with our daughter instead to say no when Luna jumps up at her...

I don't believe in hitting them, but I'm not against a bop on the nose if nothing else is working. Though with Luna we are trying different approaches to things to avoid physically touching. However, I know with the jumping and nipping at my daughter, we tried, stern no, removal, treats, and...
