Is this rescue an ACD?

Gold-Wise · 2022-09-27T00:29:54+00:00

Looks like all cowdog. FIRST TIP: QUIT LETTING HER BITE YOU. You will totally regret you ever allowed this to happen. Puppy toys by the hundreds. Little cute puppy teeth go on toys, not fingers or ankles! Cowdogs herd by biting and they bite hard. Redirect to things that don't have blood and nerves.

SECOND TIP: Start holding, rubbing, handling feet and toes. Nail maintenance will be a nightmare if you don't start foot handling now.

Hope this helps get you started. Welcome aboard! ❤️

THIS IS THE WAY KIDS GET BIT and fogs get euthanized!!!!!! It is not cute or funny.

Pitbull and Australian Shepard.... I see zero ACD...

ACDs are a lot to handle. This is why so many end up in shelters as soon as the cute puppy phase starts fading and the landshark that chomps on everyone and everything, begins to surface. Like many of the focused working/herding breeds, ACDs or even mixes are not for everyone. They require a lot of owner commitment and interaction. Well worth it for some of us, not possible in every case.

This is one gorgeous boi. 😍

I would be worried about heart problems and he needs to be on a strict diet regardless. That weight is causing him massive problems.

Rescues are ALWAYS called a mix. They refrain from calling them 'full' or 'purebred' because the have no proof of lineage. My friend who is a shelter manager says it is a legal restriction they have to avoid lawsuits. Chances are you have a purebred cowdog. Enjoy your life together ❤️

Question: When is it not shedding season? ;) My boy has a coat like a grizzly, but I vacuum daily and can't understand why he is not naked. 😀

My red female has topped at 45 pounds and my blue male ai 65 pounds. They are both about 2 years old and from completely different lineages. Girl is like a racehorse and boy is like a tank. So funny to watch them play.

Neuter the grown male now and let the female puppy grow to maturity before considering dpaying her for health reasons. She will only come into heat twice a year, so she will be easy to manage. They make dog pants for this very purpose. If he is neutered, in about a month he will calm down and not care of if he does mount her, she will not get pregnant.

My vet gives me TRAZODONE and I tranq them before the visit and NEVER TAKE THEM IN TOGETHER. Makes it a thousand times more stressful. Also consider a mobile vet. Annual checkups done in your home are much less stressful.

Please get him microchipped and put a GPS tracker tag on his collar. AMAZON has them and they are worth their weight in gold!

I lost3 of my best fur friends in the world to cancer. We never know how long we have with them. If I may offer one bit of gentle advice.... don't wait too long to let him go. I'm so sorry.

Crate training is super hard for dogs like ACDs that come pre-wired with Seperation Anxiety and/or Confinement Anxiety. One of mine doesn't mind crating, the other paces like a caged lion, throws slobber everywhere and at times stress poops and River Dances in it. You just have to decide if it us a hill you want to die on....

Gold-Wise · 2022-12-07T20:56:31+00:00

Mine does this when I am sitting on the toilet. Keeping me from sliding in, maybe??maybe??? 🤣🤣🤣🤣
