Actually, Nirvana, I'm more of an Old Bitch than an Old Bastard (does that help to genderize me?)
To get the dog I had a questionnaire, an interview and an inspection of my home and facilities for having a dog. They were very careful. They knew she was a problem dog and may not settle in. I was to let them know my observations. (I used to breed Dalmatians)
As a puppy farm breeder dog she was always with other dogs, ditto in the shelter. The only time she has been happy at my place was when she was playing with a visiting dog. She is just dog lonely.
I suggested to them that she might need doggy friends and they told me of their option of re-homing her with another dog. I think it would be best for her.
As you would know, a working dog needs to be kept busy, but she is too timid and another dog would help her teach her confidence.
How are things with your pup?
