She quickly settled in and got down to training us as her slaves very quickly. She is highly intelligent, confident and quick to learn.
Once we had got her settled in I adopted Darcy to be her companion. He was 2 yrs old and very green. He had known nowhere but racing kennels and had had very little socialisation with other dogs. He knew no other breeds and taking him for walks was a huge learning curve for him and us. He was scared of the outside world and everything in it and I made the mistake of trying too much too soon with him. We started to get some fear-aggression behaviour which steadily got worse.
It was hard to give him the experiences he needed without him being afraid so I called in professional help and now we are making progress.
I adore my dogs.
Emma has the pink collar and Darcy the blue. Their relationship is not as good as I'd hoped for and Emma is not impressed by him. She tells him off at times.
But that is something else we are working on.
Look out for more posts from time to time on here now... and not just about the dogs.
Seasons greetings and blessings to you.
