Off ksl for free and i dont regret it one bit. The hair shedding is less then a lab, he is smarter and more protective but not crazy, he walks on a leash great but can go off leash and stay if commanded, he points out danger even in the woods, and because they are natural herding dogs he will keep the kids together or let us know if they do something bad.

A story about our first night with him. We brought him home and he laid in our room. Our son kept getting up to mill around and we told our dog to make sure he doesnt leave as a joke....well he followed our command and wouldnt let him leave his room, he would push him back in the room into his bed.

We have a 11 year old, 10 year old, 7 year old, and a 4 year old and have had him for three years. He DOESN'T NIP. We are looking at getting another actually.

Oh and congrats!
