Count on a good two years of keeping up. Of course, there are LOADS of these dogs needing rescue - already beyond the puppy stage. www.petfinder.com You can search by breed or location. If you're interested in Goldens or Aussies, PM me. I'm crazy about both breeds!

If I decide on a Lab, I'm going to rescue him or her.
I love the Goldens and Aussies. However, the breeds with longer hair take some time and effort to groom. That could be a problem for me cause I don't even like grooming my own hair, hence the buzz cut.
