Anyone own one?
I'm still looking at a second dog, and I just keep returning to these guys as a choice. The problem is I've never actually met one. They don't seem to be that common in my area, or if they are they're hiding real well.
I'm not looking for a hunting dog, mainly companion, with hiking ability, and maybe frisbee ability...
I've heard they can range from intensely energetic to just mildly energetic? I don't mind energy, but I do like if they can turn off if adequately exercised.
I'm also interested because the lack of huge health defects. I really want a dog where I have a good chance of avoiding health problems.
I do however have a cat and a smaller caged bird. Any experiences on how that might work out? I did get my current dog (pointer mix) to ignore the bird, and they certainly would never be together when the bird was loose.
