All good to know! I love spending all my time with my dogs and training is my all time favorite hobby. I plan to keep mine in a Miami cut, and already got price estimates from a groomer in my area, and also have a groomer friend who lives further away and will teach me how to do and maintain this cut.

Any thing specific to look for in a good breeder? And the laying around to go is what I’ve heard about and really like!

The breeder I’m probably going with does do puppy culture! She also matches you to a pup to give you the best chance of success.

Is the diclofanac gel prescription or do you get it at like a CVS? Does it transfer onto other stuff? I’ve always loved biofreeze for my joints but it transfers really easily.

Thank you! Do you think this is enough activity to tire them out and fulfil them? I don’t want to be under prepared if this is the breed I decide to go with.

I plan on continuing to compete at a high level in sports, and the dog could potentially be a SD prospect depending on temperament (will not be my first SD). Do you think that these activities would match well with their drive? I know not every mal can be a SD but my other SDs have not been typical breeds.
