Taltarzac, I had a shepherd, an Australian shepherd. He lived to be almost 20 years old. The smartest dog I've ever seen in my life. I lived out in the country and could keep an outside dog who knew his boundaries without fences. It took some work on my part, but he learned his boundaries and stuck to them. Shepherds are very smart. I would love another Aussie or a Shetland sheep dog or a border collie, but my allergies and limited outdoor space won't permit. I can see an Aussie in the backyard on the third hole now at the country club. Yeah, right. I'm considering a Westie. But I'm afraid of the tendency for these dogs to dig. Anyway, I would loved to have watched the shepherd in action.
