Iona, my Newfoundland/Border Collie mix.
She is seriously the best dog ever and is something of a "one-man dog",
unless there are kids around. She looooves kids.
And Kiera, my Border Collie/Lab mix.
Goofiest, friendliest dog ever. Can't help smiling when she's around, that's for sure.
Checkys, it ended up being food allergies. So long as he doesn't eat dry cat food he's fine. The only problem is, he'll only eat dry cat food So that's the new challenge. Feeding him.
My cat is a picky eater. Normally, if a cat didn't like what I bought, I'd feed them the stuff and just be careful to buy a different brand of cat food next time. However, Nemo is allergic to cat food-and it happens to be the only thing he'll eat. I'm not kidding. Dry cat food. It's what he...
This shouldn't be a big problem if the dog is properly exercised and trained not to mouth. We had one that did it when she lived in town and got no exercise. Once we moved to the country, everything was fine. Aussies (from what I've heard) are more likely to nip than BCs. But BCs are very high...

Sounds like your dog is a dominant one! (or bossy; whatever you want to call it). It's great that they're getting along; I wouldn't worry about the puppy growling. She can't do much at 10 weeks. Make sure you don't give her all the attention or she'll start thinking she's "all that". Also...
She is really good on leash; she watches everything but responds to a feather touch because she wants to keep watching and can't if she disobeys. Off leash-ehhh, not so much. Names of toys is a good idea.
This is Iona-
She is a 1 year old, high energy, incredibly stubborn, too-smart-for-her-own-good BC mix and is totally awesome.
We practice agility together, which she loves, but I'm looking for some other fun games to keep everything new and exciting. I have actually found that she learns...
