Hobie - our newest addition to the family. Unfortunately, FiFi,our Rottie, passed away in August. We think Hobie is an Australian Cattle Dog,came to us as a rescue. He seems very small for the breed at 35 lbs. He is about a year old, full of energy, wants to herd us and Piggy and is always looking to please. Will be interesting to see how he takes to training - he sits on command and comes when called, good start prior to official training.
