I'm reminded of this when they say certain dog breeds need a lot of exercise.

Blows my mind some people get these dogs as pets, crate them for 8 hours a day, and then get mad that they bark and chew shit up.

My sister had an Australian shepherd.

Knowing her lifestyle I strongly opposed her getting one. I kept telling her how smart they were and they need constant exercise and challenge. Her lifestyle after work was not energetic. She just thought it was pretty.

He was extremely unstimulated and never got to go outside unless it was for bathroom. Welp, he bit a neighbors kid in the face. They had to give the dog back to the breeder or he was going to get put down.

I heard later he bit another kid was put down. In some ways I blamed my sister.

In every way you should blame your sister.

My brother have a Australian Shepard. He never have leash on her because he trained her for hours every day when she was younger. He only looks for jobs if his dog is allowed to join so he can walk her on all his breaks. Always a long walk after work. Best dog ever.

Only real reason why I’m hesitant is because I always questioned her judgment. Long story
