i agree! i hate how so many people get breeds such as sibes, border collies, ACD, GSD, JRT, etc and expect them to just be a mellow family dog. they can be a family dog, but they need a proper amount of exercise.

Beanie gets a walk and LOTS of fetch time. he LOVES fetch!

Gracie goes on a long walk every morning with me at the local park. a couple smaller walks durring the day. then she gets a session of obediance in the evening. i might add tredmil time if she likes it.
