They are great smart easy to train here is a picture of red last week. 16 years old had a tumor. Took him to vet n he died while being examinedSorry to hear about the loss of your dog.
I haven't had a pet in years, but I look forward to getting off the road soon...so hopefully I can get a couple of dogs to keep me company. I had 2 Australian Shepherds at separate times, I really enjoyed those dogs.
