Yes...we are going to meet a lab/aussie mix at local shelter today...shelter has mostly pit bulls and this is a small town. I would never have a pit bull, ever. And, I am good at training dogs.
Excellent. It's those unspecified "mixes" that are the tell. When it's not a time bomb blend, it's safe for the shelters to say.
All the best success with your meeting! Aussies are awesome. A Lab with built-in Flubber sounds like a bundle of fun. Not available in decaf, lol.
