Our Australian Cattle Dog is about 10 months old, we adopted her at 8 weeks, last year. She's a great dog and I think we've done everything right so far, especially with her breed (lots of activity!). She is great around everyone, and 99% well behaved despite still being a youngster. Our...

Hi Everyone! This is my dog, Indie, that I adopted last year. She was rescued from a hoarding situation in NV where food was very limited. Dogs would fight over food, and since Indie is deaf, she was attacked repeatedly when she didn't hear another dog coming. In spite of it all, she has turned...
