you have boys 4 and 9 and you are worried about your house and poop in the yard?:D

Excellent point. 2 boys, 4 and 9, are probably going to be much harder on a place than almost any one dog could be unless you get a chewer.

I wanted to share my best friends. The first pic is Zena just had to be put down 2 weeks ago, great dog and will be missed dearly. The second pic is Howard (Howie) who we found on the road 9 years ago and was Zena's hunting buddy, we live in the woods. He is alive still, doing well and adjusting to his new buddy. The last pic is a kill shelter rescue that we saved last week. She is a good dog and well mannered. Her name is Sadie.
Gotta love dogs!
Save your best friends life.

Bode was supposed to be a mini Austrailian Sheperd.. Not exactly a mini, but he's treated like a king...

rnln- Cedar , like his brother Darcy above, came to us from a rescue in the mid west. My wife found them on line and decided the lil fluffball puppies just had to come home to us. Once they arrived, we saw the size of their paws and GULP !
We think they are a mix of white shepherd and alaskan huskie, but they sure have long legs. Prolly some wolf in them too ;)

35" tall at the shoulder and 105 lbs
