We've finally decided to get a second dog, likely a rescue. Miranda, our springer spaniel, was put to sleep last summer at age 14, and Corby definitely missed her.
Anyone have any experience with Australian Shepherds? My husband doesn't want a 2nd big dog (Corby is 85 lbs) so we're thinking 30-60 lbs. They seem like a good breed, and we're pretty active with Corby (lots of leashed walks & off-leash activity, especially at our cabin). There are very few springers available for rescue, or Viszlas, both of which I like.
Any other suggestions? I've been checking out (online) Kijiji, Petfinder, and all the local SPCA, Humane Society, and Rescue groups - I'd love another lab or lab-x, or golden, but don't see any that small. I'd prefer 1yr+ but am willing to do the puppy thing again!
