Are Australian shepherds good family dogs?

Yes, they are very good around other pets as I have had many over the years. They are a herding dog similar to the Border Collie. They need lots of exercise to be healthy and happy. They are very good around children (also, just like borders) and will protect them, if properly raised.

You can't. There is no such thing as a Toy Australian Shepherd.

There is a Toy Australian Shepherd and a Miniature Australian Shepherd. I have a mini. They are not recognized by the AKC, but that does not mean they don't exist. The breeds started years ago by breeding small Australian shepherds.

Why are anime guys so hot?

Anime guys are so hot because they're not real. They can do anything like fly, kill, and even perform magic. Also, you never see an anime hero with some kind of deformity, unless its something cool like a metallic arm. They are portrayed as perfect unlike Roman mythical beings like Jupiter. They are always faster, stronger, and smarter than their enemies. (Which can be hot too, but only because they appeal to our darker nature.) You follow them through their transgressions until the end, so you grow a bond with them.

Because everyone knows that guys in real can't possibly match up with them xD

And so, you tend to feel an attachment to all the hot guys you see. And cute ones too xD

Guys are SOOO hawt in anime xD ---- Yes, veyr true! ^^ Mangakas or anime directors want to attrak people to watch/read the show/book so they can get money and live, since it's their business.

Yes, yes, hot sexy guys are the best!!! XDDD

It gets complicated when people try to use 2 and 3 scopes. People only having an address pool of maybe 5 but then trying to connect 6 clients.

Every computer gets a different IP every day, can be annoying as some network software wants to work with ip address and not computer names, then you have to go to the computer everyday to get the new IP (though you'd just put this computer static)... Cant think of anymore off hand.

Are Australian shepherds helpful or harmful?

Australian Shepherds are easy-going, remaining puppy-like even in their adult years. This courageous dog makes a good watchdog for the home. Aussies are excellent with children, even with an active child, as they love to play. A devoted, loyal friend and guardian, for they are naturally protective. Affectionate, very lively, agile and attentive - they are eager to please, with a sixth sense about what the owner wants. Australian Shepherds are highly intelligent and easy to train. Though aggressive when at work with livestock, the Aussie is gentle with human friends. Australian Shepherds are not the kind of dog to lay around the living room all day or live happily in the backyard with only a 15 minute walk. They need much more exercise than that and something to occupy their mind daily or they will become bored, leading to serious behavior problems. Without enough mental and physical exercise and or a lack of a true pack leader, they can becomenervous and destructive if left alone. Socialize well to prevent them from becoming suspicious of strangers. Working lines may be too energetic for people who only have a moderately active lifestyle. Some like to nip people's heels in an attempt to herd them, and this behavior needs to be corrected teaching the dog that humans are not to be herded. The Aussie is a quiet worker. This breed is not usually dog aggressive.
