I know I'm biased but having been around many breeds in my life, these guys are the smartest and the lowest maintenence breed I've ever seen. As a child, My parents bred German Shepards and they are my 2nd favorite except for the occasional hip displasia many large breeds suffer from. We had to put 1 male down when I was you and that left scars on us for many many years. It took 15 years before my Dad got another dog of his own. Now I have them working with Blue Heeler's too;). My niece takes them to 4 H for agility competition and is doing very well. These guy's are also the ultimate frisbee dog, incredible arial acrobats and you can't wear them out. They do have a small downside in the form of being somewhat over protective and some will not tolerate strange dogs well if at all. They're major pack dogs which I think comes from the large amount of Dingo in them. They really need to know their place in the pack(my family) and won't tolerate any violence at all. I can't even wrestle around with my wife or daughter or tickle them w/o the dogs getting in the middle. They make wonderful babysitters too and if you let your child go out around the nieghborhood with 1 of them, you KNOW they will be safe. LOLOL I could go on and on. Yet another rambling marathon post I'm infamous for;) Thanks for putting up with me and my babbling. JD Here is a picture of my young stud at about 6 months old, He's much thicker now but this picture kind of explains why they call them Blue(a combo of white and a black undercoat). |
