Also one other thing, Anybody who says anything about vicious dogs. Its all how you train it. If you got any other questions just PM me or ask me on the forums.

There aren't vicious dogs, just poor backyard breeders and stupid owners.

The only difference being that the bigger dogs (such as Rotties, German Sheps and Pittes) do a lot more damage when

poorly bred and trained. Ideally the dog should be a very placid but protective if it doesn't know a person.

haha love that video!

I'd go a kelpie personally due to their intelligence, their ability to entertain themselves when you're not there, they are generally very well mannered dogs (wouldn't leave small children near them though), lack of moulting everywhere, and generaly hardiness. Added to that you can play with them all day and they don't wear out!

I can't stand stupid dogs though, my gf has a 60kg labrador that whilst VERY good natured is too stupid to learn to fetch or really do anything other than slobber, pant and roll on his belly.

I've got a Kelpie called Drifter & I'd happily leave him around children of any age. It comes down to the individual dog, regardless of a breed's reputation.

But you are spot on about how smart they are. My little boy knows quite a few tricks and he's definately the most placid thing ever!

Mishka is awsome!!!

I have two huskies. When we got the first (6 years ago) he was really bored and upset when we went to work. As such was howling nearly all day and just being generally detructive. Got a second 2 months later and it fixed everything overnight. Even if they don't hang out together, they take a lot of comfort in knowing that the other is there.

There not viscious I have an 18 month old daughter and they know to keep there space or be gentle when she is around (obviously nver leave them unsupervised with children, any dog!)

But the hair oh the hair it is full on always around the house, constant brushing when they are shedding (not so bad when they are not) but they shed twice a year for about 6 weeks each time.

Huskies aren't the type of dog you train to take orders though. they are very independent so don't really listen unless they want to (if that makes sense).

Good Luck!

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
