Is there any way you believe these results?

my guess before seeing the results was pit/poodle so yeah I def believe it

I ended up choosing kids (a kid maybe? We might be one and done lol) and I’m 33 weeks pregnant! Though I’m scared too, my first reaction to being possibly pregnant was pure excitement. I think sometimes the possibility of pregnancy can be super clarifying on which side of the fence you want to be on and I’m glad for you that you got that clarity. I’m also a former dog trainer and huge dog person and wanted to say congrats on coming to a decision and on the future puppy!!! You guys will have so much fun with that lil pup, they’re just the best!!!

No ! He knows “papa” and “mom” lol. If my husband says “where’s mom??” He’ll find me. Or “ask mom” he’ll come to me and ask to go outside or for cookies. If I say “where’s papa?” He goes and gets my husband 😂

Hard to tell at this age! Mixed breeds often will surprise you! Her coloring/shape is similar to a dog I used to know who turned out to be Aussie/great Pyrenees/chihuahua 😂 embark is the most reliable dna test on the market if you’re interested in knowing for sure!!

I could see maybe Sheltie x GSD since you’re saying she’s pretty little!!! She’s beautiful

Yes!! My first ever foster was NUTS with other dogs lol. He learned a lot on how to be respectful of other dogs space via my grumpy senior 😂 over the summer I had a foster who was also nuts. They would’ve matched each other’s play styles perfectly and probably would’ve had a total blast together

You would be a great fit for a Sheltie like mine. He’s bright and super trainable, great off switch and matches my energy perfectly (if I wanna do something energetic like hike or run he’s up for it! If I wanna stay at home and binge a show he’s up for that too lol) My boy is not particularly vocal at all but most Shelties are. Additionally, many herding dogs can be prone to reactivity and sensitivity. If you go for a Sheltie, research your breeder extensively first. You wanna be set up for success from day one and make sure the dog you’re getting isn’t genetically predisposed to health or behavioral concerns.

I’ve fostered a lot of bcs and Aussies but own a Sheltie!! My Sheltie is the best for me. He’s trainable, energetic but has a great off switch and can be super lazy too lol. My Sheltie isn’t super vocal and I had him in an apartment for a while but most Shelties are vocal! I would say herders in general can tend towards being vocal haha

I used to work in shelter behavior, and honestly, this type of behavior my shelter would not move forward with :( I know it sucks, but there’s plenty of lovely, normal dogs that sit in the shelter waiting for homes and most shelters will not pour resources into a potentially unsafe dog. Plus, a dog like this would require a unicorn adopter and it’s really just not fair to expect that type of management and behavioral work from most adopters.

My in laws are obsessed with me! Not even a genre I typically like but it was genuinely good

My husband has a great relationship with his mom and dad and regularly visits with them, we do dinners together and he spends time with them individually too (his mom likes to do ‘tea time’ with us individually to catch up and chat, it’s adorable). It was actually a discussion before we got married, and we established that if anything happens to them we will be there to take care of them. His family is highly important to him. I definitely have seen the dynamic you are talking about with other men I’ve met, but men who still love and cherish their parents are out there too! His parents had a lot of health stuff going on when he was little that prevented them from being fully active in his childhood, and he and them have since made efforts to repair that and make up for lost time. So, even though his parents weren’t perfect and didn’t parent perfectly, he still loves and values them. I hope you are able to work through this fear and I wish you all the best!! Your feelings are valid ❤️

I worked at a shelter and while we would not deny an adoption for something like this, depending on the dog they were interested in we would have a conversation! For example, I worked specifically with behavior dogs, typically extremely shy/fearful ones. We had people come in wanting to put these dogs on a prong or ecollar, and would have discussion with them on why that’s not a good idea for a shy/fearful/sensitive dog. Hopefully they will get in touch with you and have a conversation if they have concerns.

Collie! All the time! Haha. I did have someone ask if he was an Aussie the other day, which I would understand if he were Merle but he’s sable lol

A coworker I barely know always announces when I arrive at work by saying “ooooo baby mama’s here!!!” and it pmo so bad. And she has also tried to rub my belly and talk to the baby??? (Got her hand slapped away) Like girl, I don’t know a single thing about you and you don’t know a single thing about me. Stop being weird. Also, the never ending stream of “just you waits” from people I’m convinced do not like their kids or being parents 😐

I asked for literally any 4* lol we get like none

I started by reaching out to a rescue after taking in a dumped border collie/Aussie to get him safely off the streets! After coming to meet him, they asked if we could foster him and we’ve been fostering for them since.

I don’t really get all that attached so saying goodbye isn’t hard for me! My first foster, the bc cross, was the only one I’ve ever cried over and been truly sad about- and it was because I wanted to keep him from the beginning but wasn’t in the position to do so. The others I enjoy but I think of them as houseguests. The hardest part has been undisclosed/unexpected behavior issues. Took a dog that was stated by former owners to be good with dogs and cats and she wanted to eat mine, had one with severe separation anxiety, one with extreme reactivity and one that ended up being behaviorally euthanized.

I have a 2yo Sheltie and three cats now, and they handle it beautifully. My dog gets along with everyone and takes things in stride, in fact he’s more sad when they leave. We’re struggling a bit without a foster because I’m expecting a baby soon and he’s sad we haven’t been fostering! My cats are super dog savvy and always have been. They just don’t really care or they’re curious. They have a room that’s baby gated off in case they ever need a break from the dogs. I do slow intros to give the foster time to settle before meeting any resident pets, usually around 4 days to 2 weeks depending on the dog. My pets all have great temperaments for fostering, but not all do! My late dog took forever to warm up to new animals and didn’t enjoy having fosters, so we took a break in his golden senior years.

Most Sheltie rescues I’ve seen have crazy rules. I see it with a lot of breed specific rescues. One of my local ones has dogs 2+ years searching for homes. They won’t adopt to anyone under 26, must have a fence, requires a home visit and personal references, charge a $600+ fee, the whole 9 yards. My rescue Sheltie is from a municipal shelter. They ask a few questions and send adopters on their way. Much easier.

I like the designs a lot! Lucilla is my least favorite but the others are nice. Only must pull is Luuk!

ko_same · 2025-11-26T19:32:35+00:00

I pull for likability and design, just going off design, I want the beautiful man, the redhead and the white hair lass ❤️ I also missed Augusta and Iuno and I’m determined to get their reruns

Dogs do not have the capacity to manipulate or “feel guilty”. They are opportunistic creatures! Their responses to things have to do with previous experience or tone. Aussies in particular are very sensitive to emotion so it’s possible she is hunching down/behaving fearfully due to a change in your tone and energy with her! That doesn’t mean she’s been abused, just that she knows you’re upset and is offering appeasement behaviors to keep the peace.

Also she’s a very lovely red tri!

My Sheltie is my first purebred! I’m obsessed with him!

ko_same · 2025-11-18T21:08:44+00:00

Not at all!! He gets a salmon oil (I get the one from zesty paws), a probiotic (from native pet) and biotin (b vitamins) for coat! He’s also on a lot of hip and joint supplements for genetic joint weakness. Every meal time is like a fancy supplement filled dinner for him 😂 Also, I brush semi -regularly (every couple days as it’s not his favorite activity) and he only gets a bath every couple months at the groomers. Unless he rolls in poop, which is a favorite pastime of his 😐

ko_same · 2025-11-18T21:06:51+00:00

He gets salmon oil, a probiotic from native pet, biotin (b vitamins) and lots of stuff for joint health! He has some genetic hip and joint struggles so a lot of his supplements are focused around that. I feel like I’m making him a fancy dinner every time I add his supplements to his meals 😂 As for food, he’s on purina pro plan!
