She lies it and will always sit still for it (or it could be the little dog treats she gets for being good). Smart. Smart. Smart. One thing, when her neck ruff goes up, keep an eye on her. She may not trust who she is looking at. I always introduce friends and let her smell them. They like to lean in and get smell. They are pack animals to the last, but you are the leader as Caesar says. Great dogs.Toad Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055467070018039169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194623735250607631.post-49936456486343918842010-12-14T19:45:09.529-05:002010-12-14T19:45:09.529-05:00I have little personal experience with this breed,...I have little personal experience with this breed, but imagine herding animals ten + times your size! This breed must have some moxie!<br />I suggest getting a rechargeable wet/dry hand vacuum- very handy for cleaning up "accidents".<br />Also, never too early on obedience training. Ask Barb Mann regarding puppy training. Also get those chew toys soonest- and enjoy!Tom Osbornenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194623735250607631.post-43247788559944588702010-12-13T12:38:25.243-05:002010-12-13T12:38:25.243-05:00Thanks, Tom.

Fortunately, the chickens are fenced in.

That's how many herding dogs end up in the pound!

I have a 4 year old Red female and they are so smart and always ready to play. Chewers yes, but give them their own chew baby. Thank you I am so relieved.Toad Hallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16055467070018039169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194623735250607631.post-63452548455466559522010-12-13T07:52:05.327-05:002010-12-13T07:52:05.327-05:00Congratulations.

Here is a good link for you: <a href="http://www.cattledog.com/misc/faq.html" rel="nofollow">ACD FAQ</a>.<br /><br />Owning a dog which sheds incredible volumes, I was curious to discover that the Australian Cattle Dog only sheds once or twice a year. However, when it does shed the describe it as "blowing it's coat". I can't wait to hear what that looks like.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05624863257890585094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194623735250607631.post-36872382435115050832010-12-12T18:30:14.739-05:002010-12-12T18:30:14.739-05:00We haven't really had her out in the snow, but...We haven't really had her out in the snow, but she looks out through the big glass sliding doors onto the deck and, when we go in and out, she sticks her nose out and tests it.
