Mr Diplomat...you need to take a long look at yourself and your post(s). I find your rudeness and bashing un-necessary. Perhaps you should find a water tank and use it wisely.

Actually some of the rescue organizations I've looked into you get the papers with your horse plus the pedigree. You can actually breed the mares with their approval as well. Anyway I never stated I was going to "show" this horse. I wanted a pleasure horse I could trail ride with and have my dogs along with me. Papers or no papers, it makes no difference to me as long as I have a sound horse my dogs can be around.

And then there are some various hounds and terriers, as well as the Chesapeake Bay Retriever. Also, it's believed that your Australian Shepherd was developed from a North American breed, the Farm Collie. Check this out:

I saw in your profile that you breed Appaloosas. They are a beautiful breed, I think. A North American breed, correct? The US has a rich history of working animals; however, a lot of that history is being lost with industrialization and big agribusiness; it's difficult for the family farmer or rancher to compete with that. But, they're still hanging in there, if you know where to look.

The more likely origin of the Aussie was not North America, but Spain/France. The most common accepted origin is the Basque herdsmen. They took the dogs with them when they went to work the sheep.

Hey, what do you mean a US dog can't hold a horse. Have you ever watched Roy Rogers, Bullet held Trigger all the time by the reins. Don't they have tele where you grew up?? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> :rolleyes:
Just kidding, some points are well said from both sides, I've seen dogs in Brazil,Chile and Argentina riding on the back of horses. Yes dogs were used for herding sheep.We use Redneck Trucks and 4-wheelers to ranch and farm with here in the USofA.
Then again I've seemn both horses and dogs eaten. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just kidding maybe!

My understanding is the Basque shepards came through Australia with their dogs when they came to U.S., hence the name.

My understanding is that the Catahoula lepard dog is Lousiana state dog. Don't know if that is official or not.

Here in the USA we have a strong tradition of gun dogs, hunting dogs, and sled dogs. All of our herd dogs are imported, we just don't need to use them here that often. So as much as I hate to admit agreement with anything Powning says. . .he is mostly correct. We don't have a tradition of working dogs here in the US when compared to a lot of other countries.
I guess I like to take abuse also, as long as I win in the end. I have fight drive.
