re: Australian Shepherd - Anyone own one?

I did for 7 years, Lucy in my avi pic. She was a 10/10. Everything you would ever want in a dog as far as temperament, smarts/trainability, etc... We got her when she was 7 weeks old, took her maybe 2 weeks to be completely potty trained. She was great with my little sisters when they were toddlers. Easily the best dog I've ever owned and my parents who've owned everything from yorkies to labs to poodles to german shepards would say the same. The only time she bit anyone or anything in 7 years was during the kick 6 play when Auburn beat bama, my brother jumped up and screamed right on top of her when the play happened and she freaked and bit him right in the ballsack. It was hilarious. I'm going to get another as soon as I have a more stable situation/time. I miss her so much
