    Second ACD- those who have two

    @rushamania My Senior guy Pete is getting long in the tooth at 12 years old. I have considered this as well. We are ranchers so activities are plenty here.

    How much exercise does an ACD actually need? How do you know if they need more?

    @pawel My guy Pete is an all weather dog. It can rain really hard and he doesn't blink an eye. Snow, no problem. The animals have to be fed and he's the boss and besides he loves the "towel job" he gets coming in through the mud room. We are in Western Washington and here we go with gray and...
