Are those the same as australian shepherds? I love the looks of them, but I think that they might be a combination of big and active that won't work for us.Oh ! Pick me! Australian cattle dogs are the sweetest things! They are active and enjoy the outdoors, and they are very affectionate. Not yappy at all.
If you are already used to dealing with greedy dogs (not aggressive, just very food motivated) then that is good. And just keep a close eye on their condition. Many people over estimate how much food they actually need. Anytime we kenneled our corgis they always came back pudgyFree feeding is not something that we know how to deal with for dogs lol (from years of goldens and labs who gobble up ANYTHING)
If not doing formal obedience classes, we'd (everyone collectively) will definitely be doing sit, down, recall, drop it, (any other basic ones that I"m forgetting right now, and I individually would like to attempt to focus on heeling, and maybe rolling over (because it's cute)
Oh yeah, totally has to do with pitch.
It was actually verified by the vets I worked for. You guys don't have to believe me, I don't care either way.This is a myth. Color is not linked to aggression. It is possible that you saw more aggressive tan/buff cockers locally because a local breeder was producing that specific color, and that breeder also happened to have crappy temperaments. Temperament is genetic, but is not linked to color. It's a correlation does not equal causation thing.
I didn't clarify myself! I didn't mean brushed off by posters, I mean brushed off by my parents.
No, australian shepherds are a bigger breed, cattle dogs are smaller.Are those the same as australian shepherds? I love the looks of them, but I think that they might be a combination of big and active that won't work for us.
Oooh, ok, I'll look at them!No, australian shepherds are a bigger breed, cattle dogs are smaller.
Cardigans or pembrokes?Our family has owned corgis for years now - excellent family dogs!
Then they weren’t given enough stimulation or interaction. Being *constantly* in the backyard would indeed drive them to develop the habits you describe.Too much energy (neighbors had one and it would run around in their yard CONSTANTLY, to the point where all of the grass was gone on his favorite path, and it was just a muddy line. I agree that they check a whole lot of boxes, though, and they are gorgeous!
