Hank is a doll. He is just so sweet, docile, and easy going. He's got his quirks, but I love him for each one. He was left tied up outside a shelter and ACDs around here are usually put down.

... New breed. There is only one and I own him. A noble breed with a predisposed tendency towards sillyness, they are most at home in the Great Black Swamp, where they hunt for bugs and sticks in the bogs and marshes. A dependable and loyal breed with no consideration for personal space...

How cold is too cold? I recently have been walking my 7 year old female ACD at night around midnight because it's usually the last thing I do before I got to bed. Now, my dad argues that the cold temperature is not good for her. So I am wondering what is a decent temperature for her. She...
