Australian Shepard Information
I have a friend who is considering getting an Aussie puppy. This would be the intention of being an agility dog. What information as a puppy buyer does she need to know?

difference between Old Farm Collie and AKC Collie?
Does anyone know the difference between these two? From what I understand, they have different skull shapes and different coat types. I also know that the Old Farm Collie (Scotch Collie) used to be extremely popular and was bred for function, not physical appearance. Is there anything else, though? And...

Border terriers
What can you guys tell me about them. Hubby and I were talking and looking at different breeds, he likes the look of the breed, He doesnt want a little fluffy dog. He wants a dog that is rough and tumble and doesnt look like it will break.

Any Ideas?
This is Maya. She was sold to us as a Husky mix, but very few people see the Husky in her. I have had people ask if she is Great Pyrenees, Kuvatz, and even Maremma! She is a year old and about 70 lbs and stands about two feet high. The grin you see is pretty much her default expression.

Beagles off leash?
I've heard that you should never let a beagle off its leash because it will follow its nose away from you and get so caught up in the smells, that it will get lost. Now, I realize that beagles are sniffing dogs, more than other dogs, but LIKE other dogs, couldn't you train a beagle to come back...

Hello, I recently adopted a bichon/terrier/poodle mix from a bichon rescue group, but I just don't see much Bichon! haha--not that I mind at all, but supposedly Dad is a poodle/bichon and Mom is a terrier. However, no word on type of terrier, nor any guess on weight as adult. Although she is just...
