Unbelievably sweet-natured. HAs already made friends with a number of neighbourhood dogs as well as the neighbouring humans. Not yappy, and is adapting quickly to us.sancarlos wrote:Looks like a great dog. Our mutt has some border collie in her, and all I can say is that you should give her jobs and keep her busy. Border collies are the smartest. And, if that intelligence (and energy) isn't put to good use and they get bored, you will suffer for it!
Ours loves getting the paper every morning, going to look for squirrels/rats int the garden, chasing the tennis ball, doing tricks, etc. Have fun!
She's been home for 24 hours and has had 5 walks. I am used to a stumpy terrier's pace, and am not used to coming home from a hort walk all sweaty. Even at half-speed, this girl lopes. We ran in the park a bit, and jeez, it's another world.
So, their will be some agility training for her - to keep her mind working and to give her the exercise she'll need. I'm used to walking a dog for 30-40 minutes a day. I think Izzy will be getting me and my family into shape, as we will be spending a lot of time at the park. There's a great fenced-in off leash area there too. When she's a bit more settled, we will be moving in there.
I didn't. But when I did wake up, my office was coated in dog shit. May be a smart breed... but still a pup.She looks awesome. Enjoy not sleeping tonight.
