Ahhh, well the AKC is fucking dumb anyways.
Herding dogs are really intense. I had a border collie Australian blue heeler mix a few years ago and she was the best thing ever. Unfortunately she had an enlarged heart and died of a heart attack at three and a half
We had good times though, she was my baby.
Now I have a mix, some kind of hound and perhaps a terrier? We don't know, but it doesn't really matter.
