The puppy is adorable! In fact, the pix of him just sent me thru my" "I want a puppy" "No, I don't""Yes, I do" "You're not home enough"" routine. Sighhhhh. I'm really *NOT* home enough right now to have a puppy.
I love the herding breeds.I had a Corgi for 16 years. Shorty Bighead. What a smart dog he was!
Good luck with him, sounds like you are getting some great advice here.
