I certainly will.
Good stuff Pella. I've been thinking very hard about getting a dog recently. What breeds are you looking into?
We are going to look at two litters. Queensland Healer and the other is Queensland Healer/Collie mix.
Good choices. Just remember that any herding dog is really, really smart and keeping them mentally occupied and giving them consistent boundaries is a must.
So they are like kids? I have a lab that needs the same thing.
I wonder if the temperament of the QH/BC mix would be better for children. My kids are older, 12 and 9 but i still worry about it.
My wife works in child education, and "Like a toddler" is exactly how she describes her. Ours is a lab/border collie and I'd get another in a heartbeat. She seems to have the best attributes of both breeds. As I type this she's standing at the top of the stairs throwing her Kong down them because she figured out that's the easiest way to get the contents out.
Thats what I was thinking. We are going to see the litter of Queensland Heelers first, the the QH/Collie mix. This will be our 2nd dog. That will make it 2 dogs, 1 cat, a lizard, 2 hermit crabs and 3 fish tanks. Here is my Jasmine.

She is, she really is. She hasnt been around other dogs much. I hope she will be ok to the new puppy. She gets along with the cat but we got the cat first. She is very much part of the family and very weary of anything that isnt.
Bring her to meet the puppy before you commit to bringing it home. To be honest, it's neglectful not to.
That would be hard. We are already headed home with him
. Little guy is so cute. I will post pics when I get home.
I need help with names. I wanna name him after a fighter. BJ? Fedor? Connor?
Dude my landlord/neighbors (joined house) got a fucking pig today. I don't know how the chunk is gonna do with a baby pig, I predict shenanigans.
Also do it.
Dogs are great. Make sure it's a stupid dog tho. But not too stupid
Oh and make sure it speaks english

Herding dogs can be fantastic family dogs. I grew up with a collie cross, and he was a nearly perfect dog that we had from when I was three until I was in college.
As mentioned above, they need something to do to keep thier mind occupied, or they will occupy themselves doing something you might not like so much.
Looking forwards to pictures of him.

Nice pick man. As for the dog's name. Pink if it's a girl, Floyd if it's a boy. Because of the hourglass on its head.
It's a he. I like Floyd. Ill have to run that by the kids.
