 Hobbes (as in Calvin and…) was adopted from the pound after being abandoned with no records. His age at adoption was estimated at 1-2 years so that would now make him 5-6 years old. The pound thought he was part Dalmatian, part handsome stranger, but more and more I'm thinking he's ACD. Except for the ears…? He also has a ruff on his neck - is that common with ACD's? His tail is long and plumy and he has a lot of fur along his back legs. He's definitely got a herding instinct as his playmates will attest to. They get annoyed at times when he goes for the back legs. I've also seen him position his head right against their shoulder and guide them where he wants them to go. He's definitely a little tank and I'm eager to learn more about this breed. He's very laidback, concerves his energy until it's needed and then he's a powerhouse. He loves to backpack and will pack in his own food and water. He's not afraid of anything including moving cars so I have to always have him on a leash. What a sweetheart and a great companion.
