[MyBabyHens]

Another day another dog !

Still wanting a herd guardian for my chickens.. But now I want a sheltie, a belgian shepherd, and a brittainy.. drools

I guess Tucker looks like a deep red most days. Some goldens are darker than him to.
I love red fox labs (though technically yellow labs)
There isn't a color i dont love but certain breeds i wouldnt own. Its personal preference

Yeah that makes sense!!!!!!

I find aussies to have more energy. Boxers are more exuberant. I've only ever been knocked on the ground by an aussie. Two different ones. One ran me over, and the other I tripped over twice. Aussies and boxers are a good match for each other, and wear each other out wrestling and running.

Well then maybe boxers are an option
I have the Aussie (SMART + super high energy) a pitbull (high energy + super intense) and multiple guardian dogs (low energy + super pushy) who are pretty rough to handle so as long as they're just boisterous and goofy rather than psychotic, pushy, and aggressive then I could definitely handle their antics, they just look so intense
I have always loved owning 3-4 high energy dogs because they all play outside til they're ready to fall over and then they're well behaved in the house and have more focus for training.

Boxers can be dog aggressive, but so can aussies if you don't stay on top of the leadership position, and give them guidance. Both breeds, especially the Aussie will happily take the leadership role if allowed. That's where people get into trouble.

I have kept one boxer and one or two aussies at a time with other breeds just fine. I like playful dogs that also double as protection breeds because I'm home alone a lot. Both boxers and aussies will defend their people if needed. You definitely have to be ready for the breeds quirks. So many in rescue because people aren't ready for the energy and intensity of both breeds. Both breeds want to be with their owners constantly. Both are goofy breeds. I like dogs that make me laugh.

Having a pack of dogs is easy. They tire each other out, and they help to raise puppies when I add one. People think one dog is easier, but you have to be everything for that dog. A pack shares the love, and creates a culture.

my Dobermann was always high energy and knocked me over a couple of times, my Australian shepherd/Tervuren cross would never do that, she is smart as a whip and very high energy ( like the Doberman, but she was not as smart ) anyone getting an Aussie should know they are wonderful dogs but need (!) to be physically and mentally (!) stimulated, or you have got a big problem dog, I go to Agility and Hoopers with my dog every week, and she gets lots of walks, she has a high prey drive which took years to get under control, she finally became an adult when she was 3 years old cooling off in a „pool“ during Agility

What I loved about my Dobermann among other things was that she sat like a human

Yep, my previous Aussie would keep other dogs from eating if I wasn't around, it got to the point where my pit bull snatched her up and was fixing to teach her a lesson, luckily nobody got hurt but that was a terrible situation. She's gone now but I still have the pittie, and he's kind of a dog aggressive dog. He's the dominant dog amongst the other dogs and he doesn't tolerate other dogs asserting themselves or stealing his food anymore, but besides that he's great and even gets along with strange new dogs. Luckily I pestered him to death as a baby and had zero tolerance for aggression towards me so now I can do absolutely anything to him and he looks to me for guidance in everything, if he were given too much slack I think he'd be a real danger to others. I used to be SUPER against pit bull bans and I still am to a certain degree, but after owning my pittie I understand how things can go so wrong for people who don't know how to handle them. There should be classes for people who choose to own them

All the boxers I've met at work are seriously psycho I dont know why because any I met previously were pretty nice dogs but I've had 5 or 6 at work and they bark relentlessly at other dogs, snap at other dogs, knock me over, run into walls.... one bit me I still like them though, just not something I could own for sure
