@Alex

I know dogs can be a lot of work but breeding them just to shoot them seems cold.

@Tago-Mago

This explains why I was confused. New concepts can be exciting but this sounds awful.

[Tago Mago]

@Matt always happy to help. If you need any advice regarding tough life decisions let me know

[Oaktavia]

@Alex omg so adorable. Amanda and I have a golden and she's the best! And the working variety vs. show looks cuter in the photos, just sayin'!

[Alex]

@IronFart haha, no, this breeder was just outside Lincoln, though, so not miles away from the one you mention

[Alex]

@Oaktavia kira wanted a golden, like yours, but we need something smaller for our locatiom, so this was the compromise

[Oaktavia]

@Alex ah, makes sense, that is a smart compromise. Raising a puppy is a treat, they become part of the family. I love dogs so much. Just got back from a neighborhood walk with our Rosie.

My pets/family. Goob the old 12 year old hound dog, and Parker the little kitten. The shepherd mix was Sarge who was 9 and passed a few months ago

@wjw very cute dogs and beautiful kitten! Sorry for the loss of the old guy

This dude is a huge nerd but impossible not to spoil. This time with a braided rawhide.

Ava knows we don’t feed her from the table but that doesn’t stop her from trying…

[Oaktavia]

@Matt haha Rose does the same dang thing.

[SKT]

@Matt that’s a great shot

Also, what are you eating? Looks like pizza but…

[Matt]

It’s my neighborhood pizza place that’s been there since the 40s. My first pizza ever. It is the best pizza available.

[SKT]

Looks incredible. Like Chicago but not

[Matt]

More “pie” style than deep dish. It’s amazing. Come visit and I’ll treat you to one.

[SKT]

Hold you to it when I make it that way

[Tago Mago]

@Matt is that an open invite?

Picking him up March 2nd - 10 week old Australian Kelpie to go with our 12yo Border Terrier

[xaqh]

Just got this puppy! We are waiting on the results of a DNA test but the rescue thinks she is a Border Collie/Lab mix. I also see maybe some Heeler or German Shepherd.
She is sweet, playful, and very smart. Potty trained her in just a day, already knows sit, crate and place commands. She is going to be a great dog.

6 weeks old when she was brought to my local rescue. Ears still floppy

8 weeks old on the day I picked her up last weekend

*EDIT DNA TEST RESULTS!
61.3% Australian Cattle Dog
26.9% Siberian Husky
11.8% German Shepherd Dog

This pup is going to have a ton of energy as she grows up!

@Alex We’ve been looking at Boykin Spaniels. They look just like the working dog in your photos, but only get to around 30 lbs. They were bred as water foul dogs small enough not to tip over duck boats when they leap off the side for a retrieve, and small enough for old men to easily pick up and lift back into the boat.
