My 15 year old blue merle is my third Aussie.
Aussies are the smartest breed out there, and don’t get nearly the recognition they should.

Keep it quiet. More publicity could ruin the breed. In fact, it already has harmed it somewhat. Hard to find an Aussie that can herd well.
BTW - in the 70s, my college roommate had an Aussie that loved to ride on motorcycles.
