From what I've heard they present their own set of challenges although some are the same. He spends a lot of time walking them, but one of his still has behavior problems. This matches our experience with a couple of our previous dogs. It's very difficult to keep them in check by simply walking them.

The aussie is 8 and the border collie is 11. No sign either of them are slowing down, although the border collie now has heart issues and is on medication so we've had to limit her job to just a few minutes at a time.
