    We are going to have to form a. "Tall Ladies Club!" I am just barely shy of 6' tall. Add to that the fact that I carry a gun for a living, can out shoot most of the men (firearms instructor,) and that I hyphenate my last name...and it seems I'm every mans nightmare.

    I also enjoy the ACD stories. Vastly different from my LGD (Anatolian/Gr.Pyrenees/Akbash crosses) whose sole purposes in life are to guard our animals from predators, play, sleep (with one eye open) and to eat a little, in that order. They appear the laziest, most worthless dogs on the planet...

    My question, as well. How much of that is instinct and how much is training? I have a 12lb Jack Russel/Dachshund cross that has learned that when I say, "Go ON!" she is allowed to 'help' send the offender on it's way. She has never chased any bird or goat before, but now is eager to 'help'...

With a full time job and a full time hobby, and a house to keep, and three teenagers to tend, there is little time for gardening only to feed myself. I miss my garden, but I usually...

    Tara, does the breeder of your two pups keep up with them on this thread or do you send the pics to her through email or some other channel?
