Whats up with all the small ACDs I've been seeing?
Buster is only 30lbs (actually 28 at last weighing). I met some people skiing with Buster, who said they also have a small ACD, and then there is one for adoption here that is also a male and is 30lbs.
They all look similar, and are lighter boned than most of the ACD, and the one for adoption and Buster are both rather shy, which is not a breed trait. Most other ACD seem to be over 50lbs for males, even though the standard tops out around there.
They're even small for a BC male, but might have some, as there is some significant lankyness. Do they really hold their phenotype that well? They're already pretty close to the pariahs in shape...
Buster is in my sig. Plus,

Yes, hes on craigslist, but it appears to really up for adoption, and very cute!
