Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Please contact me if you are interested and I can share his story. He was raised from 8 weeks. I know the owner of the parents who had the litter. He is 2 years old. He is probably the smartest dog I've ever owned and I've owned dogs my entire life for 60 years. He is not a cuddle dog. He would prefer to be out hearding sheep. High energy but not yappy. Just built to go go go. We are an older couple with a 6-year-old daughter and we both work. We do not have the appropriate amount of time that this dog deserves. The thought of rehoming him breaks my heart, but I also recognize that she would be a happier dog if he could be more active.
