Working Kelpies (a breed apart from the Australian Kelpie) were added to AKC despite next to no one with the breed being happy about it. There is no breed club in this country, only a registry, so it's not like they had anyone to get permission from as it is. I believe they're using the FCI...

Macleod is great with people coming in unannounced, a bark or two in excitement, but generally well mannered and makes friends with any visitors. He's also great with strangers well, everywhere, but as a service dog he has to tone it down because not everyone wants a dog nose up their butt...

Currently dwelling in an apartment with a malinois, a kelpie and a golden. I spend a good 4 hours of my day outdoors exercising them. I also have a treadmill for them which Bindi likes to run on 3 miles a night :) We're managing well but it's not ideal.

Do you have facebook? PM on this site is hard from mobile.

So I brought Willow to a SAR training day yesterday. Macleod picked up where he left off with wilderness search and did great. Willow was evaluated and not surprisingly had no interest in live find. So we evaluated her with cadaver. She wasn't repulsed by it nor was she overly interested in the...

Pfft Julee that was hardly a bite! I was there for that one. :P Kim took most of the brute force for me of Willow learning bite inhibition unfortunately for her :rofl1:

YAY PICTURES! I'm so excited for you! Join me on the malinois SDIT journey :P Speaking of which, I really need to add Willow to my signature...

Added a kelpie, mal, and golden

I haven't read through all the comments, but I thank anyone giving the benefit of the doubt to the owners and dogs. I've flown with my service dog 11 times, and let me tell you, he still absolutely hates it! He's as close to bombproof as it gets everywhere else, but something about the altitude...

I would definitely consider one. My boss has three rotties and is breeding his bitch next fall. Depending on what stud he chooses, I may get one from her litter. She's fairly short though (if I had to guess 23" - 24") his are German conformation lines which I don't prefer the look of (I prefer...

I love chessies! I never really considered them before and I'm not sure why. There were two on my SAR unit when I lived in Florida that I absolutely loved. They were all about their handler when off duty, but totally focused and on the scent during a search, and impressively persistent. I pet...

I love Pox! The name theme reminded me of my first dog, a min pin named Captain Sharkbait (we called him Sharkbait or Sharky).

Hi guys! Still attempting to be more active on here, so I thought I'd bring this to y'all and see if you have any ideas. I'm still brainstorming dog breeds for my next service dog. I thought about training Bindi (my kelpie) for it, but she isn't nearly tall enough for a lot of the tasks I...

Happy birthday Embyr!!!

I'm on Long Island as well

Okay, so, I had totally planned to get another golden then started swaying toward a dutchie as I've been getting into IPO (with my golden, funny enough) but I ended up with a kelpie... Not sure what I'm going to do with her yet. She shows great promise for just about anything, maybe even...

Wow I just realized I misspelled retriever in my signature *face palm*

Kim is in love with leonbergers

I just moved up here from Florida and want to meet some local dog people. :D

Update: Gayle of Gaylan's Golden Retrievers got back to me and approved me for a waiting list! She recommended a litter out of Glee. I met Glee, her dam, and her granddam when I met Gayle and toured her property/facility. I loved all three, but especially Glee. She looks and acts so much like...
