When purchasing any pet people really need to pay attention to the breed. I had a mixed Labrador Keeshound when I live in a mobile home. He loved being around people. He was so friendly he would scare the pants off people. His mix was 95% waterdog and had a lot of energy. Loved that dog but had to do what was best for him. My dad knew a deputy sheriff that had a 20 acre farm with a pond. He also had a female lab/retriever mix about the same age. Bo was about 6 months and she was about the same age. Her name was Betty. They lived happily ever after and had the most beautiful puppies. The deputy had 5 kids. I cried like a baby but was happy for him because he was happier. People really need to think about the breed, even the mixed. Also if you can't afford something, don't buy a pet because you can't afford it either.

With a breed known as "Polish Lowland Sheepdog" (who, but the way is a very pretty boy!) you might think he would be pretty good a herding sheep??? Good for you for recognizing his natural instincts and abilities.He looks like he's having a ball!

We started with an Australian Shepherd, i thought he needed a mate, little over 2 years later we had puppies everywhere...we ended up keeping 2 more....turns out they kept our cattle herded, as well as our grandkids, and our cars as we would come into the driveway....now 16 years later, 3 have crossed the rainbow bridge and only 1 left...he still tries to keep me and the husband as well as the 2 jack russells herded.
