114. We adopted a 1 year old boy BC 7 years ago and a 1 year old girl Aussie 5 years ago from the shelter

They bring us nothing but joy. I am sorry for your loss. A BC/Aussie mix would be a tremendous dog.

Did you notice how your dog seemed to regret that her kids grew up on her? Our BC lights up whenever he interacts with a child. The two are inseparable and my daughters run both in dog agility. The Aussie and my oldest daughter are like twins. My oldest goes off to college in August, and I wonder how the Aussie will take it.
