I am a bit late to post to this thread, but ... My better half discovered that breed variant after a family member in an intense grad program and living solo in a downtown apt on the other side of the country called me one night last Sept and said "talk me down, I've got appts tomorrow to see two dogs available for adoption." So far, so good. Definitely an "easy keeper". Very popular w/ guests as a therapy dog ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachdogz Posted March 4 Author Report Share Posted March 4 I've calculated the pros and cons of our new addition: Pros: Eats nothing; $0 for food Very little grooming (except taking cookies out of hair left by my granddaughter's hugging) but no toenails! No Vet bills Excellent obedience on sit and stay Cons: No kisses No Border Collie hugs Lousy agility dog Did I mention no hugs or kisses? I have a granddaughter who will move this dog around the house. Care to guess how many times I've entered a room and at a glance talked to it thinking it was one of my dogs?

mseaver Posted March 5 Report Share Posted March 5 Oh, I can acknowledge the lifelike resemblance. The first awareness and glimpse of these pups for me was a thumbnail image of one seated beside the aspiring grad student several floors above ground in a downtown apt bldg half a continent away from me.
