Young At Heart
Exploring the pasture
Pup #3 is super cute with the paired white front legs but #6 just looks like he can get the job done. Who knows until they are older. Good Luck!

Hi YAH - and welcome!
Decisions, decisions! I did talk to the breeder today and she understands that I want to wait as long as possible to make my decision and she is willing to work with me.

I really think you need two. I am seriously considering getting my pup a friend. There are two litters on CL right now but I have to convince DH and my pocket book.

I've thought about two...but they're pretty pricey and honestly I'm not sure I want to deal with two of them! I know in some ways they would keep each other occupied, but then there's that puppy/pack mentality that kicks in.....yikes!
I think Maddie, my Pyr will be a good, steady influence on him, and I've also got Gracie (English Shepherd), who is just over a year old and very energetic. If the pup needs to burn off steam I think Gracie can help him in that aspect! She is perpetual motion.
However, Gracie will NOT go out to the pasture with us when I take the pup out. Gracie would 'work' the stock every minute of every day if I let her and that's exactly what I don't want the pup to learn.
Of course, everything is subject to change when the little fella comes home! We have to get to know each other a little and figure out his personality and style and give him a little time to grow. There's always the option to get another young'un later.
Now we've gotta come up with a name for him. I can't keep callin' him the 'little fella' forever.

I kinda like the name "Cowboy"... don't know why but it jumped into my head the other day. Haven't decided for sure and will wait until he comes home before I decide.
