[QUOTE="Boot Jack Bulls, post: 1405408, member: 24016"] One good ACD will get the job done, but I personally use two whenever I'm working a group, no matter the size of the herd or the range covered. I like to use one of my males and one of my females at a time. They play off each other's weaknesses and strengths well, and I know they have got me covered if the shyt hits the fan! ACDs are notoriously one person dogs. We have several, and they all work for every one of us to an extent, but I know if my tail is in a jam, the little blue mottle that claims me will be there before any other dog I have. I think the trick to having more then one working at a time is two have the same working type dog, but have one that is a bit extra aggressive, to dumb to know better and can take a hit very well (usually the male) and to have another that is super sharp on commands and can work with more finesse (usually the female).
