I picked up "Amber" from the local shelter. Nobody knew what breed she was. They assumed she was a german shepard mix. She is very laid back most of the time. She can, however, get very excited when playing. she was very easily housebroken. She accepted her new lower position since our son was born, although she isn't happy about the constant poking and attention from the now 5yo boy, she has never bitten or hurt him. She has growled and snapped at him only when his attention was particularly painful, just to let him know. She loves to lick us, she sleeps in bed with us, she strangely doesn't greet us, but will bark angrily when we leave. She has been very healthy, and is now 8 years old, and not showing any signs of getting old. We could do without the shedding, which can be very messy. baths are only every 2 months, she is mostly indoors.

Pros: easily grooms, great with kids, easily trained, very friendly, very loyal, doesn't bark at every little sound, mostly laid back

Cons: alot of shedding, not a good watchdog, very loud earpiercing, bark, barks when excited

Lady is all around a fun dog, even when she eats my cat's food. Her favorite things to do are playing, eating, and getting petted.I can't stay mad at her long, as after I disapline her she licks my hand begging to be forgiven. She loves ropes and bones.

Pros: Great pet, very friendly, high energy, loyal

Cons: sheds a ton, loves to chase animals,not good watch dog

The best dog I have ever owned. Very loyal and loves being near their master, will follow you to hell and back and lead the way. Very, very, very intelligent, commands are easy to teach. Should learn sit, stay and lye down within in 8-10 weeks of age and from then on more difficult demands can be taught. They need lots of exercise but can be turned into house living pets but park visits and brisk walks are needed as it was born to run and run and run. I love Huntaways, good looking intelligent dogs. Currently looking for a nice purebred (again).

Pros: Very intelligent, clean and good looking (no grooming required), easy to train, loyal and eats only what it needs.

Cons: Barks when excited (not a major con) not a watchdog but will bark on demand

I love my huntaway he is one of the most fun dogs I have ever had. He was a rescue dog he had bad mange as a pup and has a fear of man sometimes to scared he pees himself. He always has be laughing at silly things he does. Hes hypo and loves to run and play games all day. He is loyal to me and now that hes getting over the puppy stage is getting easier to train. He will follow me when I on my horse. He always wants my attention. Over all I just love the big silly boy to bits.

Pros: Friendly, loves to play, can do anything with even dress up, not grooming required no matter how much mes he seems to get into, good bark whenever someone comes down the drive, doesn't chase the other animals we have (expect when trying to herd the horses)

Cons: Likes to bark at nothing, can get over excited and jump all over you, thinks he is helping when he herds the horses, is very shy of people he doesn't know, likes to destroy things

Sue is a 5yr old huntaway heading dog cross.Found her on "Tra\dio" for free at 6mths of age.She was timid when I got her.I took her for walks in morninings and evenings for2 mths.In between time she was on a chain.After the 2 mths She spends all day with me on the ranch.She was a natural with very little traiining needed. Every evening after work I tied her up and fed her for 1 1/2 yrs.After that she is now loose 24 / 7.She never leaves the house when I`m inside and when I drive out of the driveway.Otherwise she is beside me soon as I walk out the door for the whole day.Only barks on command only works when I want her to.I``ve had a few dogs over the yrs this is my 1st bitch and the best dog I`ve had.

Pros: Very loyal,very calm(just waits at the house when not at home)good with kids.Works great at moving cattle.
