We have had several dogs come and go in our family. It seemed that we would never find a dog that would suit our family, until our very good friends the Burtons came across the dog we have now. Sadie. She is an awesome dog. Part border collie and part blue heeler. Very good with kids, but was terrified of men when we first got her. (abused???? probably she would cowar away fm MontyJ if he raised his hand too fast) I have pics on the house computer and will post them later. I don't know if we would get another dog if anything happens to Sadie.
