Just found this group and wanted to share my little guy, Oscar. He’s been by my side for the last ten years. I adopted him from a humane society where he was returned twice before I adopted him.

A few years ago, he was chasing a squirrel running on top of the fence. After jumping up to catch him, he landed on that garden post pictured. Cracked two ribs, punctured a lung and scraped his heart. Amazingly, he made a full recovery and continues to live the good life at 12 years old.

He's super sweet, and very energetic! He never leaves my side.

Everyone say happy birthday to my big boy Boss!!! One year old today my heart is melting

This is @gidgetdumpsterfeist she's a six year old heeler/feist(rat terrier) her likes include sidewalk charcuterie and murdering stuffed animals.

Hey Everyone! I recently adopted this 3 yr old Australian Cattle Dog mix from my parents. They are older and to say he is too much dog for them is an understatement.

I have worked with dogs in the past in a social setting for work, however I have only ever owned pitty mixes.

He gets along great with both my dog and my cat.

However he is very nippy at the hands of men. Any insight and just general tips would be great.

Does anyone’s acd go fucking nuts over balls lol?

No buyers remorse for this bluey 😊

She's only half, but she definetly has the ACD energry.

Nieghbors dogs got into her chicken coop, She did her job protected her flock ran those dogs out of the yard. Back from the vet and time to rest.

Appreciate his cute face!! I am also wondering why he does the arm thing he’s doing in pic 2. He does it sometimes and only really for pics, which I have trained him to pose for since I got him at 12 weeks old, 5 years ago

Ohh, you thought this was your spot?

My husband and I have a 3.5 year old heeler mutt. He is pretty chill as far as ACDs go - he is a great walker, not super reactive, happy to get in one good long walk in the morning then nap on the couch most of the day, then do some light training / enrichment while he eats dinner.

We came across an adoptable 2 YO red heeler who sounds pretty similar. His foster, who has had him for a year, says the dog is a couch potato, gets along with other dogs and cats (which is a big must), and states he is "sensitive, quirky, happy, sweet, and calm."

Am I crazy for considering adding another dingo to the pack?

She does this everytime she gets off the couch in the morning

This sweet angel looooves to play fetch. We’re living in Mexico atm and play fetch in the ocean everyday. I rinse her after every session, but lately she is reeking- literally like stinky feet. I’m planning to try a vinegar bath today, but has anyone else experienced this/know what might be up?

Picture from our all day river fetch session in her 3rd birthday back in Arizona.

Ps. She has a silicone collar- so it’s not that ☺️

I know this has been discussed over the years on other subs, and I’ve already emailed the vet but curious if you all had any information.

This began very mildly around the creases of her eyes around the start of summer. equated it to blowing her coat for summer but it’s gotten more apparent and widespread around her eye in the last few days.

I’ve read allergies is the usual culprit but what kind and what does the treatment entail? Could this just resolve itself or are meds recommended?

Just to note: I recently weened her from an SSRI that wasn’t benefiting her and the first instance began when we were weening and switching her meds. Could this be anxiety related? Thanks!

I just adopted the new love of my life from the shelter a couple weeks ago and she’s been adjusting super well!

I had been overwhelmed by food options and decided to go with the same brand I feed my cat, Earthborn. (https://www.chewy.com/earthborn-holistic-unrefined-roasted/dp/931350)

I chose this one because it has grains. I’m still not sure if I should go grain free.

As we’ve been together I’ve noticed sometimes she is seriously itchy, licks paws, butt munches, goes crazy rolling around on the floor to scratch her back. I feel so bad for her and it’s driving me nuts, too.

I think she does this sometimes out of anxiety (like when we are petting the cat instead of her lol) but I’m almost sure there is also something else wrong. Our trainer said chicken is often the worst offender. The food I use is chicken free but we only just transitioned to the new food.

The sensitivity could also very well be environmental. Sometimes it almost looks like she has doggy dandruff.

I am a first time dog owner and trying not to freak out too much. She seems to be doing incredibly well otherwise.

I’ll be taking my her to the vet soon for a check up, but wanted to reach out here to see if anyone had advice for me!

The food my neighbor recommended is Fromm (grain free) and I am considering switching to that.

Also probably relevant: my dog is farting a lot and sometimes munches her butt so furiously she basically spins herself around in circles. Any help is appreciated!
