Just found this thread and wanted to let everyone know Tucker (our Aussie Mix) has been absolutely crazy the past year but I wouldn't have changed it for anything. The dog has tested my patience to it's core but he's smart as a whip so now he'll stop when told, the first time. Here are some new photos.

He's a bit bigger now and has put on about 5 more pounds.

On this last photo we've had him shaved down. His coat was out of control. Believe it or not shaved down looks great.
Pic 1 his eyes look a little like the clown guy from Saw. I'd worry about turning my back on him... :)
Pic 3, he's all "sorry, man. Here's your duck."

His eyes are crazy. After researching the breed I found Indians refereed to the breed as Ghost Eyes. I'll post up a better photo and you can see why.

That last photo is kind of old, this he was 6 months then, now he's 1 year 2 months. Now he has no toys except a kong. The kong is literally the only thing he can't take apart. I mean take apart and not tear apart because there is a difference, he takes the toys apart. For example, he took a large dog braid (the rope kind) and untied every last bit. Found the pieces in a nice little pile.

I had to get him a quick release collar because he literally learned how to take off the latch collars (belt style). At first I thought it was a fluke, then he did it 4 more times.
