LOL there was an ALF marathon on Thankgiving and Jeff said that liking ALF when I was little unknowingly made me want a Belgian.
Toller How could your mom resist fluffy Belgian puppies!? I don't know if a Belgian would be harder to live with than a Koolie or a Toller. Abd you have Dobes too. Usually I warn of shriekiness and obsessions and quirkiness and neediness but well...
Too funny! When I said that I was a little worried I might offend one of you Belgian owners, but I think ALF is cute!
And I don't really know why. They've always kind of overwhelmed her for whatever reason. She likes them, but doesn't want to live with one. I've never actually asked her - I just remember a couple years ago her requesting that my next dog not be a Belgian. She finds them really intense, more so than Koolies or the other breeds we've owned.
YAAAAAAY!!
Okay I still wanted it to be a BC puppy but I'm super excited to have more doggy siblings on the board. I hope it works out!!
Thanks! I do like Border Collies a lot, but Aussies are just that breed that I come back to over and over again and have for years for whatever reason. They just stick with me.
HOLD UP. We still need a reveal thread AS SOON AS YOU FIND OUT.
ETA: Also, you'd totally have to let me know when you're picking up puppy so I could come meet you, too
I probably won't be there long (just an overnight stay probably) and I'll be so overwhelmed with shock and stress, haha. Never flown alone, the airport I hear is huge, have to go to the breeder's house all alone. I'm a reserved person and this all sounds a lot more overwhelming in my head than it probably will be. Thank goodness the breeder sounds incredibly nice, so that's good, but still... as excited as I am I am also really worried about the whole getting to and from thing!
I don't know the city at all and wouldn't be able to meet you anywhere without getting lost LOL. But it would be cool to meet you!
This whole new experiences and being an adult thing sounds good but I hate how worried I get when I think about where I'll stay and getting there and back. I just keep reminding myself that plenty of people travel to places they've never been to pick up their puppies and it's all good.
Yay Aussie puppy!! Are either of you planning on showing? I am SO EXCITED for you!
I'm not really. I requested a pet and my main goal is just to enjoy her and have fun without putting pressure on myself to actually do certain things. But I love Obedience so will probably at least do that, and will train in Agility. Also heard of a good Flyball club really close to home recently. And I hope whichever puppy I get loves Frisbee! We don't have any Disc Dog clubs near me, which sucks, but I still want a frisbee dog because it's fun. But yeah, probably no conformation showing. I tried that and it's just not my thing. I find it so awkward. Maybe if I took better handling classes it would be better, as I really didn't know what I was doing very well.
