Any Dog People Here ?

Here is Cooper, our Australian Cattle Dog at about 6 months

And another shot of him a little over a year later

He is a very smart dog, learning commands like Sit, Lay Down, Speak, Shake, a stern NO, Come, etc. almost intuitively. He knows his boundaries in the yard, when walking him in public and at car shows people see him and comment on his marking and how behaved he is, and when the wife and I are at work for 9 hours, the house isn't trashed or any "accidents" when we return, in the car he lays down in the back seat in a protective partition that hangs from the headrests of the front and back seats, laying on a blanket and either looking out a side window or taking a nap. All in all the wife and I could not be any happier with him as a pet.
