New family addition
Nothing bruin in the oven yet, so the wife talked me into getting a 3 month old pup. Suppose to be part lab and part border collie, but we have a strong suspicion she's got blue heeler in her.
So far had her (Addy) for a few weeks, and she's been great. Only 1 pee accident in the house, and our other dog Cici has been playing non-stop with her. lol - might actually get her back in shape.

Yeah I agree, probably border collie and heeler mix. But you'll figure it out before too long if the hair starts growing out.
Make sure you feed a quality puppy food for the first year and then follow that up with a quality adult food. It will add years to your dog's life and save you a ton of money on vet bills, not to mention your pet will have a better coat with less shedding, will poop less, and it's just the right thing to do. Quality food doesn't have to cost a lot. In fact, a lot of it costs less than the grocery store stuff when you figure cost per serving.
Very good looking dog! It will be very intelligent and will want some sort of "job" to keep it occupied. Enjoy the new puppy!
