Sounds like they would be an excellent guard dog IF you could control them.

Do you have puppies now? Guess we shouldn't be talking dogs; should be talking fish but, this is interesting. Should we move it somewhere else? lol

LOL nah, i havent started the breeding of these dogs yet, its got to wait til we have a place with quite a bit of acreage before we even attempt these crosses, and to get the working cross breeds that i wont is probably going to take a minimum of 5 years of r&d, 2 breeding pairs, male red nose pit, female blue healer, female red nose, male blue healer, and then a male and female rhodesian, non related, i refuse to line breed LOL

we try, the biggest problem with working cow dogs is generally speaking, not always, but generally speaking, the best puppy in the litter for working cows is also the meanest, nastiest pup in the litter, when ur choosing a pup for working cows, u dont want the one that runs up to you, or the one that runs away from you, you want the puppy that when u bend down to pet him, grabs a hold of your hand and tries to rip your arm off

girl, cow dogs are not supposed to be the lovable pets that most people view dogs as LOL they're hard working, extremely protective and loyal, and they have to be viscious and tough to do what they do, and healers are the best in the world as a breed when it comes to working cows :p ive had 4 of em, and they are my all time favorite breed, i loved my aussie, but my healers are the tops in my book :p

I have seen finnex tanks and I like them a lot. I still like the solana better, of course it doesn't have a built in fuge, but that could be fixed. I just think they look great and are built extremely well.

My Uncle had a border collie (I think that's what it was) and it herded kids and chickens. LOL LOL . Very nice dog. Kept the little kids from going near the pond.

Seeing the Solana in person was a bit of a let down. I was so impressed with all the pics I'd seen of them set up that it just looked sooo different...

I have seen them stocked with coral and seahorses, and it is gorgeous. I probably wouldn't consider the RSM though for the money. If I didn't get one of the all-in-ones I would go with an ADA tank with a sump/refugium.

I could get a solana for less than that with halides and a stand, and I just prefer the look of them over the finnex. Don't get me wrong I would be really happy with a finnex, but since my next tank will probably end up being the solana I am kind of partial. I love the rimless look. Plus the solana holds 4 more gallons, not a big deal but every bit helps.
