I live with two Border Collie mixes and two Australian Shepherd mixes. Unless you want to give a single pup some sheep as the ultimate dog toy it's best to have at least two together. Unless of course you have nothing else to do with your time than work with them. They need jobs to be happy, they are not "lay-abouts". Mine have spent the last few weeks digging a "bomb shelter" underneath their outside shelter dome. They want me to stock it with milk bones but we shall wait awhile for that.
