Rescued

[Revving2Redline]

It was time to move and move on.I'm not with the Dobermans as much so I decided to get a pal for my pad. She's got a personality and attitude. Farmer gave her to me for a dollar. She ate a bunch of chickens and nipped a small kid so she was on borrowed time.

She looks nice, hopefully can be rehabilitated. Whats a few chicken indiscriminations among friends?

 

[Revving2Redline]

Farm dogs rock. They got killer instincts and she patrols at night while I sleep from midnight to six in the morning. Checks at the windows. She's my four legged AA recovery motivation. She's a Spooner too. Cuddles and talks. She's got a hint of SB Husky in her, so that's where the talking/howling come from.

She looks great. Hopefully a match for your dad.
This one will talk your ear off...husky, coyote, who knows?

Glad you are giving her a second chance. I live on a farm and have a border collie and a yellow lab to keep the outside predators at bay.
Less than a month ago, my wife and I picked up a deer-legged chihuahua (not a deer-headed) from a shelter in Oklahoma. He's approximately a year old and that house dog can run and jump!
Good luck with your gal.

I have a rescue Shepherd mix with blue eyes, she has also killed a few chickens and sleeps in the dark outside.

Good man.

Thanks for the rescue, best luck to you and your pal.

High prey drive. I suspect the "nip" was actually herding instinct in action. Keep her exercised and engaged.

Pretty Girl!

Grandma used to say, "They know who loves 'em".

I would have put the dog down.

Interesting, you were all in on the Dobies. Hard to walk away.

Only way to keep her from killing chickens is to keep her away from chickens, you'll never break her of it. Rock solid obedience and vigilance on your part around kids will deal with the nip. Hard to condemn the dog without knowing the circumstances.

Good looking dog, how old?

Great dog, looks good to...,,, we had goldens and labs thru the years and one border collie,,,

 

[Revving2Redline]

She's only one so the nip could have been child provoked. Someone wrote to put the dog down but how many cats have done the same without even considering the same punishment? Besides, she's good to me and that's all I care about.

Good on you Marco, thank you for saving a precious life. She'll be your best friend in time, looks like my own GS.

May you have many years together!
