[QUOTE="milkmaid, post: 746482, member: 852"] Thanks for the input. I'll be talking to the breeder of the pup's dam and owner of a full sibling to the pup (same person) tomorrow, figure it may give me some more insight into the potential of this pup. The breeder of the dam trials and works all her Aussies; her website has plenty of WTCH dogs listed, so it looks like they can work, question is what this pup is like. What do y'all think about getting a half-grown pup... am I going to have issues with him bonding to me, or will it not be a problem? As far as watching this pup work; I really know nothing about herding dogs beyond the books I've read and the YouTube videos I've watched. :P (I used to raise and train Labs quite a bit, but Aussies are totally new to me.) What exactly am I looking for or wanting to see a 7+ month old pup doing when he's put out with cows? [/QUOTE]
