My family and I work a small farm in the middle of rural Indiana. We love working with our dogs and they love working with us. They are a great dog to have with you no matter what. They are easily loved and will stay with you no matter what. We got into these dogs just to have something around the house that I knew would stick around and have fun with the kids. They are amazing with my kiddos my kids range from 14 to 2 and never had a problem with them. As our mom and dad get older they are more laid back than ever. They still work but they also love to take it easy. They love it here on our farm and love our family
