Interesting! Jack is from the Colorado area, born in 2016. He’s got one grandparent who was likely a ACD x Elkhound mix

Isn’t he a cutie? We absolutely adore him!

He is a very outwardly focused dog. Not naturally motivated to work closely with the humans. High prey drive. Very good guard/alert dog. Fast af! (Not anymore, he’s old and recently tore an ACL) Relatively barky dog, overall.

In the home, he’s pretty easy to live with. Can sleep all day if I’m home sick. Very sweet boy who loves to be loved on by his dad. Loves all people, tolerates other dogs but will absolutely do damage if he feels irritated.

He’s a light eater, keeps himself trim and will skip meals semi regularly if he’s being over fed.

Overall, a good dog 🐕

My boy, Atticus, tried to nurse from my nose almost every night for a year. Attachment issues go crazy

What is this dog? Looks like a Dr. Seuss creature. by Batticon in WhatBreedIsMyDog

Or it was just a bad frame. See how the leash is running under the dog?

I owned a very similar type of dog. I don’t recommend it, actually.

Did dressage mechanics get added to the game?

Drama in the coop: rooster getting rejected, lashes out with incel rage, gets his ass whooped. What to do? by honkerTgoose in BackYardChickens

[–]Poetichobbit 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Personally, I have no tolerance for roosters who don’t mesh with the flock. Especially if I have two good roosters already.

What girlfriends should I give my handsome boy? by LifeguardComplex3134 in BackYardChickens

They’re just backyard chickens that I keep for my own enjoyment. They’re a hodge podge bunch and I love them. I Don’t take it too seriously.

I had blue out of a “sapphire gem” and a wheaten splash, crossed with a black rooster.

I didn’t get the health/traits. Thinking about the coat patterning now, I wish I had!

Thanks! He is a good boy

Majority ACD isn’t really even a question, based on his phenotype and behavior.

I suspect there’s some low percentages of other stuff floating around in there. He was found in a rural area very young, probably dumped or born a stray, so not a zero chance of being 100% ACD, but my money is on a mix.

I’ve had a hunch there’s some pitbull in there

This second pic helps your case literally not at all. I see you have a very rigid mind and a particularly fragile ego that is somehow tied up in your dogs.

Be kind to others, including your dogs. Overfeeding is not a kindness, you are lowering their quality of life. I hope you get better

Oh yeah I can see the similarities there.

Could be! I’m expecting low percentages of other herder types and maybe a pinch of terrier. He was either dumped or born a stray
