[QUOTE="donner, post: 1300150, member: 277"] Yep, but they are considered 'ultra high energy' for a reason. When our BC mix was a pup, we would go on two to three walks a day at 1-2 miles each walk. Just so she'd calm down at night. She'd want to be good, but just have soo much energy... I know the OP said no mutts, but i think that is too bad. I know you can't 'verify' what breed the dog will be, but mutts are usually healthier than pure and often the 'quarks' of a breed will be lessened by the mixing. Our BC mix got the energy and intelligence of the BC, but none of the herding instincts, which is nice around kids. I bet if you looked around, you'd be able to find some mutt puppies from two pure bred dogs pretty easily. As others have hinted at, just because it's a pure bred dog, doesn't mean it will get all the traits of the breed. Both in good ways and bad. [/QUOTE]
