Well you guys gave me tons of great information about breeds, since I had already been doing lots of research looking in other directions was pretty easy. I latched onto the Aussi Shepard pretty quick it had everything I wanted. Finding a breeder was a bit hard but by chance we found one in Barrie who had just had a litter in January. All the dogs were taken but after chatting she offered us the dog that she was going to keep for her breeding and showing.
So meet Cooper.

We pick him up on Friday night and start puppy school next Wednesday. Everything I guess you could say fell into place much sooner than I had expected. I didn't expect to get a dog until the summer but how could I say no to this little guy.
So hints tips etc on bringing a puppy home?
We have a large crate for him, a bunch of hard and soft toys two leashes a collar etc etc, the breeder gave us a list of everything we would need to get started.
Back to work so I can pay for this little guy.
:lol:

One that looks good parked at the golf course.
One that is being rebuilt by a guy named Nero..... will it ever be done?
