C L,

I am located near Houston.  I don't mind travelling for the right dog, but would really like to find one within a few hundred miles.  The dogs I've seen that I liked most could work sheep without chewing them up, but they could also move some stubborn cattle. Seemed like their moves were very calculated, using eyes first, and when that didn't work, they'd use their teeth. No unnecessary roughness. I don't need some deep showy outrun, just a chore dog that I.can use in pastures 100 acres or less and some pen work moving roping steers up a return.

Having been around so many neurotic bc's, I would prefer a started dog over taking the.gamble with a pup

smooth coated is fine too.

If anyone runs across something similar to what I described, I would sure appreciate you letting me know.
