Bet you won't stop at one....... I can't see the picture, but are you talking about an Australian Sheperd or the short haired cattle dog? We've got Sheperds and a couple of friends have the cattle dogs. My Sherherds love the tractor and pickup. People get a kick out of it when I drive around with one on each fender. We have 3 dogs and it's a riot when they all go with to see them race for the fenders (last one has to ride on the back platform). Of the 3 friends that have the cattle dogs, only one has anything that's worth anything IMO. Not the dog's fault, but the people.
