Enjoy every moment with your dogs, it all goes by way too fast. Some of the best times of my life were running my beagles with my friends.
I've noticed that already. The one thing I love about hunting with dogs is it's always fun. Even the days when you get skunked. Watching how hard they work motivates me to practice shooting more. I hate it when I miss and they don't get to make a retrieve.

Ever notice the hardest shot to drop a rabbit is when they're running straight at ya for some reason, you'd think it would be the easiest. You guys should be ashamed of yourself, poor little wabbits. :LOL::LOL:

I don't think I've ever made that shot in my life, it's definitely the hardest whether it's rabbits or ducks.

I must be wired different. I find those shots to be the easiest, whether it's a critter running on the ground, or something flying, or even the two-legged variety with a paintball gun.
What I have trouble with is calculating lead on moving targets R to L or the reverse.

I'm fine with a rifle Bill but I've had trouble with a shotgun on rabbits, ducks and geese. I have no idea why and you would think it would be the other way around.

Great-granddaughter turned 3 yesterday and got her first car...and her first hit-and-run! :D

Had a party at Grandma's house with a raft of cousins and friends of the family and the dogs were nearly as exhausted as the kids.

Yes. My favorite dog breed.

Looks like a beautiful pup!

Never had one, but known several over the years.

They strike me as very energetic, protective, smart, and loyal. It's in their genes. (y)

A couple I've known have been great "people" dogs, a couple hesitant to strangers (good thing), and a couple just plain nasty to everybody, including the owners.

Obviously, it's all in their up-bringing.

Like a Beagle and scent-hunting; those genetics are strong with an Aussie's herding and protection. Good dogs when properly trained.

We've had Boxer's for a while. Not herders, but can be a little hard-headed sometimes, real goofy others, but always protective of his Mom.....

I like that, even when he's barking at me! :cool:

This is my 5th Aussie I’ve had during the past 30 years. I have 1 other one now. They are extremely smart dogs and easy to train. Not vicious and very attached to their family members. Once you’ve had one you’re hooked. On the eighth day, God created Australian shepherds.

One fun fact - the breed was developed in the western US, but the Aussie name came about because immigrant Australian sheep herders favored the breed.
