  • Mr Obedient. and btw, are you australian? Your accent sounds like one.

  • @FattyDudley

    Nope, I am American. He is the Aussie.

  • @eriksmith1 He is a very beautiful dog. I WAS interested in one until I found out that they're just as hyper as Border collies. How much time do you spend draining his energy everyday?

  • @FattyDudley You are correct. They are just as high energy as BCs. Boomer is 5 years now so we are down to 45 minutes a day of vigorous exercise. It was 1.5-2 hours a day. Boomer is average in activitly level for ACDs. A walk will do nothing to tire him. There are a lot of great things about this breed, ease of care is not one of them. High performance dogs have high performance needs.

  • How long did it take to teach him all those commands..

  • @TheShadyNight

    He learned those in about a week. It took a month of daily practice until he was 100% reliable.

  • Good looking dog. We have three heelers and you're right, they are high performance dogs but their personalities make it far worth the work. Besides, a true bond with your dog means getting out and doing things that THEY like too. We work our dogs hard for 1-2 hours minimum daily because all of ours are under 2 years, but they are amazing dogs because of it. Great job with yours.

  • Very smart dog.. and fatty he doest sound like us aussies lol wtf...but yea nice dog mate

  • smartest aussie ive seen.

  • He looks sooooo much like mine!! 'Cept my girl is gettin' a little chubby. She will chase and fetch her ball for hours!! I'll sit on the couch and she'll walk up and plop that darn ball on my lap so i will throw it across the family room!! Can't walk through the house without having to give that ball a kick so she can chase it.. hilarious...

  • My cattle dog does exactly the same! But in the dry Australian heat haha :D
