About Wendy Grudin Expertise I will answer any general or specific questions regarding Australian Cattle Dogs(conformation, behavior, showing in either obedience or conformation). I cannot give any comments or recommendations re:AKC judges,as that would be considered a conflict of interest.
Experience I have owned, bred and shown ACDs for the past 13 years, and I am a licensed conformation judge (AKC) for the breed. I have owned and operated an all breed training center for the past 22 years.

Question i am considering buying an acd/border collie mix female puppy and am wondering how she will get along with my 7yr old female aussie/border mix dog? any info you can offer is greatly appreciated. we need to make a decision quickly. thx in advance for your time
Answer Hi Mindy, I would need to know much more about the temperament of the older dog. Does she usually tolerate puppies? If so, try to introduce them at a park...never at your home.The age of the older dog is fine...but is she possessive of you or her toys,etc.? If so, it probably will not work. Hope this info. helps. Feel free to email me with any other questions.
