Hi All, after 10 years Eboni our mini Kelpie (actually a Chihuahua x) passed from lymphoma.
Looking at a medium size dog for a surburban block, would like a sweet dog that would sometimes like to curl up on the couch, don't mind fairly active but an off-switch would be good. Will likely do obedience and may even try dog sports. We have 2 cats and a ferret (ferret normally as free access to the yard during the day and used to play with Eboni but if need be can control access to only when the dog is inside).
Been looking at Rescue dogs:
My daughter likes Whippet/Whippet crosses and we have seen some crossed with kelpies but I am concern with the Whippets prey drive with the cats. What are your thoughts?
I have seen various ACD crosses and some crossed with Jack Parson Terriers - again I'm concerned with prey drive, what about other ACD crosses in general?
I quite like the look and sound of Murray River Retrievers - any thoughts about these?
