Here's my new buddy. I waited about 3 years to get a dog as I wasn't really in a position to take care of one. Here he is though. I got him from a shelter, about 7 months old.

His name is Link, short for Lincoln.

G'day Alan

according to the shelter he's an Australian Cattle Dog / Australian Sheep Dog mix. I'm not too concerned about what he is though, he's friendly, intelligent, just the right amount of energy for me and we get along great

looks like he's got some raccoon in him from the tail stripe. lol, looks like he's made himself right at home there.
rescue dogs are the best. my last two have been rescued.

I had an Australian for many years that was cinammon and white they are great dogs that are too smart. They are great with kids but are a lot of fun to leash train, they love to stay moving when theey are not dead asleep.

Hey that's one of dem summa dogs...summa this and summa that.

Nice job with the rescue, 2 of ours are rescue dogs.

Whenever somebody ask what kind of Pit I got I tell them a rescue Pit....then they get this stupid look on thier face.

Who cares about bloodlines.

Nice lookin' dog for sure Ripsnorter.

Congrats,
What an interesting looking dog - actually quite beautiful in a very unique way.
I am in your "previous" position - I don't have the time to take care of a dog. I like Huskys alot but they require more care because of their coat (spring brushing is a full time job).
This why I only have cats, if they have food, water, and a clean box they can be self sufficient for days.

He will come in handy when you get that shipment of Australian cattle.

Well what Lyn found out is he may be a pure bred dog, and the shelter was right an Australian shepherd,
