Thanks for all the replies! He's doing great at home. Already getting used to a crate and I've been consistant in letting him out, he hasn't had an accident yet. I will try and fix the photos for those that can't see them, tomorrow. ACD is australian cattle dog.

No, the choke collar was on him only because he hadn't ever been on a leash yet, and was fighting a regular collar and slipping out regularly. Since I've used the choke collar, he's doing well on the leash. But it's usually not on him.

He's a cutie for sure. I use a Martingale collar to take Grant out on a leash, he has a regular collar but he slips out of that one too easily. It's nice to see a red ACD on here, I don't see a lot of red ones.

OMG! I'm in love! What a cutie patootie! Please post as many pictures as possible and SOON!

Congratulations on your new addition!

*dies* Such a handsome boy. His name fits him well and I just love him. Can I have him?

Thanks for sharing. Hope everything is going well with him. I'd love to get a couple ACD's in the future. One of each color.

Romeo is ADORABLE!

I love his ears and eyes, too. He is a cutie! Something you should know about ACD's:

I have one, and she loves our family to death but is VERY protective of us and our territory. If someone is walking down the street in front of our house, especially someone walking their dog, she goes crazy! She barks and growls and snarls. I'm not 100% sure that Romeo will do that, but I just wanted to let you know that he may be a little aggressive towards strangers.

He is so cute, I wish you the best of luck with him and please keep us posted with pictures!!!
