I never thought about Glitter wanting to discipline the dogs.
We are considering getting her either a Sheltie (we are leaning toward that) or a Australian Shepherd because my dd wants to do agility and both of these breeds are supposed to be good at agility. We have talked to some people involved in rescue for both breeds at the state fair and they are supposed to email me with some information on both breeds and what dogs they have available. However, we had considered doing obedience with Glitter and agility, obedience, and jr. showmanship with the new dog.
Thanks for everyone's advice. |
I would not get a Sheltie. This seems to be the breed that sets her off. It may be the size of the dog combined with it's speed. All the Sheltie's I have had contact with have been barkers while running. That alone can set off the prey drive in some dogs. Please consider this as I wouldn't want my daughter (if I had one) to have to whitness one of her dogs attacking another "family member".
