Well, yes, I have had all of the medical stuff done. It was done the week before we brought him home from the Vet hospital.
How long ago was that? If it has been a while, he may have developed something recently.



My father is a horse rancher and has ACD's and he agrees that my place is just to darn small.
It's not the size of the place. I have a small house, a small yard and ten dogs. It's the amount of time, stimulation and activity the dog gets. You can keep an ACD in a studio apartment if you spend enough time stimulating and exercising it.



anything that costs money to put him in is a no go for us, as we are an extreemly poor family, and I can't afford that stuff.
You could find out umpteen zillion pages of information on the internet for free, and do your own stuff. Tennis balls are cheap. Also, I think I saw that you have kids, right? Most areas have 4-H, which is very low cost or even free, and they usually have a dog club.

But, having said all that .... I can tell you have made up your mind and are done. I hope you can find your dog a good home. I seriously would re-think the people who are going to keep him outside, just MHO. I'd recomend placing your dog with a reputable ACD rescue, where his temperment and requirements can be evaluated by an experienced foster home BEFORE placement with a family. NO reputable rescue places a dog site-unseen with a family that won't let it come inside. If you would like me to get you some rescue contacts for good ACD rescues, just let me know.
