That is a blessing.

I have met probably 6 ACDs off leash in their home and I think every one tried to get me to go somewhere with a nip. It may have been because they all were in houses or apartments so they couldn't satisfy their urges through work or running around. I think most of those had kids in the house, so that may have played a part?

    Mine is not a pure ACD to be fair. Half ACD, half Dal. He’s a great watch dog, and he does do a little herding, but he doesn’t do the ankle bites. He also grew up in shelters. I adopted him at 2 years old so he may have habits from that time.
