She definately is not driven to work that way... like obedience or agility. <br /><br />Seems like she likes the attention, definately the food... and I think it's good for her "socialization" of handling different situations. <br /><br />She will never be outgoing and friendly like Toe is... which is fine since they are bred for completely different things. Just want her to be able to handle new situations and people quietly and conrolled and not spazzing out. grin. <br /><br />She can alert us and be wary and she doesn't have to be a superstar in a dogshow ring... but I don't want her to threaten anyone. She has to stop when I tell her stop and trust when I say stop, those people or that situation is ok. <br /><br />Yes - she is definately a different sort of dog. She doesn't see the "sense" of the tricks and commands... you can see that in her expression! Tho she likes the praise and the food so there might be a little Aussie showing up now and again!Shansterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04397551985965117012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508432583265282274.post-53290149935076630852011-06-29T10:06:41.440-06:002011-06-29T10:06:41.440-06:00rinderpest?? Good thing I didn't worry over t...rinderpest?? Good thing I didn't worry over that one..heaven knows I worry about everything to the enth degree!<br />and Funny description on your different personalities of pups. I can just see it. <br />I have been reading up a little more on the guard dog since your scary ordeal and find that the guardian line of dog is almost always ALL about their own world. They are harder to command as they are all about one thing. Protect their territory and could care less about learning commands and tricks. Totally Atticus...does not have time for silly. Gotta be on guard. Now thankfully Tess the 1/2 pyrenees has that English Collie(Lassie dog) in her. She is brilliant in that regard and could listen well to instruction. <br />Your Keenan sounds like she has a good amount of listen in her to enjoy the dog trials. So if they're getting some interaction and lesson along with..Way Cool. Makes them smarter and smarter!DebHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05062114482783994620noreply@blogger.com
