Thanks. Running around with a Kelpie would keep any dog fit.

Tell you what I like about choosing a Bandog. They've got short coats. I had trouble with my Akita (Harky) after I got him with tick paralysis. He pulled through OK and now has good immunity. I found two paralysis ticks on him yesterday. One was quite large. I think its going to be a bad year down here for ticks.

If I'd gone along with getting a LGD I probably would have had the same problem as I do with Harky. His coat's so long and thick that I have to feel for them.With a Bandog it would be no trouble.
