They were surrendered to us as the family didn&#8217;t feel they had the time for the dogs, and the dogs were also too boisterous for their young children. They&#8217;re a bit of a handful together! But individually, they&#8217;re pretty nice dogs. They can get a little overwhelmed in some situations, but they&#8217;re quite consolable and are never worried enough to refuse treats. We are working on their jumping up and their lead manners. Considering they were practically raised by a backyard, they have relatively few issues and will make charming pets for the right home.<\/p>\n<p>First of all, there is Mack:<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1461\" style=\"width: 648px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/macktogether.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1461\" class=\" wp-image-1461 \" title=\"Black and white kelpie, labrador, border collie crossbreed dog looks at the camera.\" src=\"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/macktogether.jpg\" alt=\"Black and white kelpie, labrador, border collie crossbreed dog looks at the camera.\" width=\"638\" height=\"384\" srcset=\"http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/macktogether.jpg 1063w, http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/macktogether-300x180.jpg 300w, http:\/\/leemakennels.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/macktogether-1024x616.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 638px) 100vw, 638px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1461\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mack, being a lovely attentive boy for the camera.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mack was a bit of a snob for the first couple of days, but when I took him for a walk without his brother, he totally changed!
