Yes my whole life before I had kids I always wanted an Australian shepherd or border collie. Since I'm grown now and have a toddler and 3 year old that isn't realistic. Those breeds just aren't good with children. Over the years I have always rescued dogs and have ended up with a variety. We have 4 dogs that are all members of the family and amazing with my kids. There are so many breeds you can find that make good family dogs! I have a golden retriever mix, jack Russell terrier, Chinese crested powderpuff, and Shih Tzu.tintin15 wrote:They really shouldn't have gotten an Australian Shepherd. Obviously, any dogs can be good with kids if you put in the effort, but lazy people should not have gotten a hyper herding dog. Of course Ollie is going to be afraid of her.
They should have gotten a golden retriever or a Labrador. Although, I think Ollie would be more comfortable with a smaller dog like a bulldog or a pug. They got Luna "for" the kids, right? They should have put more thought into it than, "Australian Shepherds are so pretty and our fave!!!!".
It is so sad that missy got Luna and they are now ignoring her. In her mind though karma is an Australian shepherd mix (I would be willing to bet money that there is no Australian shepherd in him at all). She wanted a dog that would be a good dog just like karma. All dogs are different though.
