Yup. Lab + Border Collie, me-thinks . . . more-or-less. Looks like a white dog that somebody dropped a really big ashtray onQuote:

But he can learn almost anything that I take the time to show him. He's also super-intense --- has the 'Aussie Death Stare' down. And he mumbles + growls + chirps so much, he would talk if he could
Howls in his sleep, too. Which is weird because --- he only howls at sirens, so . . .
. . . does he dream about sirens?
He's also super sweet. I only have a leash on him 'cause it freaks people out to see him without one when we stroll. But I can take him anywhere --- a really great house guest. Even gets along with cats
Way-to-Go, Paul!Quote:

OK-OK --- so they bark sometimes, or they're always peeing on something (or threatening to), or seem to shed a whole houseful o' hair every time you turn around. Seriously --- if I'm ever connected to a crime-scene, it'll prolly be because of Porty's hair that I left behind . . .
. . . but --- I can NOT imagine being without him
He's 12, now

Hopefully by full season when I am the busiest I'll have a fence erected. Then I am planning on looking for another rescue herding dog for a buddy so he won't get lonely.
Who likes dogs??? NOT ME!!! Because I LOVE DOGS!!! :D :D :D :D
