I don't think you can convince Dobies are the same as my Aussies. Speaking of I know where there are some great Aussies in rescues looking for homes!!I've been trying to find an Australian Shepherd to add to my family and not having much luck with it. So I am going next week to look at a litter of Doberman Pinschers.
Same thing, right? Except the doberman is twice the size, has a short coat instead of medium, and is a terrier and not a herding dog. Other than that, same same.
Oh the joys of teaching a new pup that playing with the poultry is forbidden. Hopefully before the geese stomp him flat.
