Buddy and skid

Thought I would share a few pics of my dads dogs Buddy and Skid (they both have fancy kennel club names, but I can never remember them)

Have had Australian shepards since I was little in the family, there an amazing breed, either as a working dog or pet. Crazy big teddy bears

This is how they started (skid is on the right)


This is buddy now age 10


This is skid age 6


The terrible duo x

I bet they take a bit of grooming! Great pics Xx

Yep Big furry teddy bears x

So these are Australian Border Collies ?? I grew up with BC lovely dogs and my first was my best mate from 4 - 20 yrs old

Yea, do exactly the same job, but it's with cattle I believe...have the same mentality as a BC but a bigger build, and they don't have a tail, just a stump that still wags like crazy....and likewise about the BC they make great best friends x

Not seen a good background or full size pic to judge from they do look a bit big but having said that a BC is more varied in shapes and sizes than a staffy

Ah, I love Australian Shepherds must need a ridiculous amount of exercise though

Lovely, lovely dogs, there are two who live very close to me and they have lovely natures, they get on really well with my two as well. Nice pics!!

They really are beautiful dogs, love the muddy legs there, brilliant

Thanks everyone, they are a lovely breed, have had 5 crazy Aussies in the family upto now and each one has been amazing.

They love a good mud puddle and have such thick fur, drives me dad mad with all the grooming.....can't wait for Percy to meet them at Xmas. It's going to be good fun I think

Beautiful dogs! I would love a dog like this when i get my own house and have the time to spend with them

Gorgeous dogs!

They actually have a slightly different temperament to BCs, and they're a fair bit bigger! Not so good with sheep, but great with cattle.
