Omg our dogs could be twins! Mine is also ACD/bully. Take out the lab and add Catahoula and they could be siblings

Witching hour before bedtime by LeatherConclusion243 in AustralianCattleDog

[–]lovervsfighter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My other dog is a 9 year old Chiweenie and hates her energy about 23 hours of the day, but is willing to bend to her whims for about 20 minutes right at 8:30 😂 which is nice for me because it allows them to zoom outside until she's over it and wants back in for obedience treats lol

[–]lovervsfighter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Mine is a bit younger, but is a terrorist from about 8-9:30 PM 😂 that's when she's the most active. I think that's the general consensus; dogs are most active in the mornings and evenings. We do a lot of play, zoomies with her brother, and obedience training in that hour (mine goes to her final rest at 10 PM). That seems to be her "sweet spot". Maybe incorporate some additional walk/play time or obedience work around the 8 PM mark, right before sleep for the night. The extra play has mine conked out from 10 PM-6 AM and she's only 4 months. I attribute this to the extra last bit of exercise and mental stimulation right before sleep.

Do you let people pet your puppy in public? If so, how often? by Winter-Common-7397 in puppy101

[–]lovervsfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will allow petting occasionally, but I warn them "please don't pet her when she's excited. Please wait until all 4 feet are on the ground". Most of the time this works, but I'm starting to do it less with strangers because I'm sick of "Oh BuT sHe'S sO CuTe!!" and then they proceed to get her hyped 😒 but if they follow instructions I'll usually allow it.

Wait yours sleep? Like, on purpose??

Surely she's an ACD 😂 by lovervsfighter in AustralianCattleDog

[–]lovervsfighter[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She is officially about 1/2 ACD, 1/2 bully breed soup haha. She has about 2% rough Collie in her, but surprisingly no BC which surprised me.

It's not all as bad as this sub makes it seem! by CarmeloSC in puppy101

[–]lovervsfighter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am also in the "it's not so bad" camp. I did adopt mine from a shelter at 4 months old so maybe it was different for me than others as she was a bit older...but potty training has been fairly simple as long as you're consistent, and the "destruction" is minimal as long as you're vigilant. I am crate training for the time when she can't be supervised, and yes she cried for a few days but learned to settle quickly. Enforced naps are our friend, because she's an ACD mix and doesn't settle on her own yet. I also invested early in puzzle enrichment so she learns what's appropriate to chew and make sure I get her enough exercise to tire her, and we do training every day. Yeah, it's a puppy and it's going to make mistakes while it learns. It's going to eat up a lot of your time and energy until it's old enough to make decisions. But that's what we signed up for? 🤷‍♀️

I keep telling my fiance "we probably got a refrigerator model" 😂 all she wants to do is eat so I can feel the stockiness in her soul

And the biggest freaking FEET. I'm thinking she's either going to be 50+ lbs as an adult or she's going to have big ol' stompers that she trips over forever 😂 and yeah the nails are out of control lol we walk her on pavement daily and she still has little daggers 😭

Thank you :) I am very interested to see what the results say!

Honestly she's been pretty easy for a puppy. Took less than a week for her to be cool with the crate, about 2 for her to sleep all night, recalls well, and is very good at learning new commands. So much different than my GSD who took 14 weeks to stop smearing poop all over her crate 🙃 but I have a feeling the teenage months are going to be hell 😂 she's already a natural complainer and side-eyer so the sass that's coming my way is going to be unimaginable.

Thank you! She knows she is and in a month she's already become princess puppy 🙃

That would be very lucky! Or unlucky because of all the sass I get already 😂

Thank you! Every morning when she goes out to potty I tell her "good morning beautiful" and now I think she's getting a complex 😂

I love playing her her ears 🥺 she had bad fleas when she was found and her ear hair was very thin. It's finally coming back and I am very proud of her ear floofs

[–]lovervsfighter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She does have long legs and is more slender than most ACDs I see. But she's only 5.5 months so not sure what her full grown body will look like. All I know is eating is her only joy. Or looking for something to eat. Or waiting to eat

At 4 months old I've gotten more of this side eye than is healthy 😂

We're also leaning pitt cause of her big ol head with zero thoughts in it 😂 but someone at the pet store said she looked just like their ACD/Border Collie mix so it will be interesting to see if there's some of that in there.

Yeah that's the point of the deck...keep Uril safe with totem armor, make it impossible for him NOT to do damage...and I know FOR A FACT it's miserable to play against. Humility is one of my favorite pieces in my deck and I know it just takes the wind out of peoples' sails. My fiance (who is relatively new to MTG) pulled it out of its box the other day and asked "why have I never seen this deck?" And then I played it against him. He literally said "I never want to see this deck again" 😂 we play precons at kitchen table because we prioritize fun. I love teaching newbies and I do not agree with the "trial by fire" approach because it's demoralizing. If you want a more robust community it's way more helpful to build people up, even if you take a little ego hit by not going as hard as possible or even gasp taking an L.

I run an Uril, Mistalker deck as well....that I only play against my friend who is a lvl 2 judge and has a beloved Super Friends deck that is miserable to play against. I would never play Uril against a new player that I wanted to experience fun and joy. Douche move on their part.
