neems 2,406 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 It'll be an intersting little project,I think you'll need to get in with the right person with loads of knowledge,I reckon there will be a huge difference between even the working type. Probably even than with collies,imagine just knowing you were getting a farm collie from England,you could end up with a big strong,stable,hard headed dog or a small,nervy,sneaky little fecker. Or anything inbetween. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
