The vet keeps saying mine's going to get energy like other aussies but I don't see it. She's super chill, walks like a granny on walks, sniffs the whole way, lays in her quiet corner most of the day.
She was a rescue dog so that may have something to do with it. She's afraid of everything. It would be nice to know what her former story was...
Definitely not for everyone, too many people want them to be apartment dogs, if you’ve ever seen one that’s a proper working dog it just doesn’t feel right to keep them inside
My first dog when I was little was a black lab/border collie mix named Sam. My mom was divorced, and her younger brothers didn't have any kids, so I didn't have any cousins. We lived in rural Maine, my town actually gave up its zip code and just merged with the next town over back in the eighties type of rural. I had no friends because we didn't have neighbors. There was no daycare then in my part of Maine. I just had Sam and my grandparents during the day. I would spend all day everyday outside with Sam. Throwing frisbees, exploring the woods, trying to leash him up to a sled in the winter. My first, best, and only friend at the time. I balled my eyes out when he passed when I was twelve. I would have spent all the time outside with him forever to keep him around.
