work as a farm dog. He is also fast enough to duck away from a kick of
the cow should his herding instincts lead him to loose patience with his
stock.

the cold although he is happy to share all of the modern conveniences
with his owners should he be a companion dog. Grooming is not a hard task

so a wash would be in order before making contact with the best carpet.
