I thought the whole weekend on and off about this particular Aussie girl I had seen at the local doggie shelter. She doesn't look anything like Daisy and doesn't look anything like the dog breeds I had in mind, but she has quite a lot of character traits in common with Daisy. Maybe that's what really draws me to her. When I thought in the past couple of years what kind of dog I would be getting after Daisy had passed away. There were 4 breeds that came to mind:
Aussie Cattle Dog, German Shepard, Labrador, Golden Retriever, but it is very difficult to find an Aussie Cattle Dog out here. But I guess you only know that's the right dog for you when you see it in person. And with that Aussie girl I had just the feeling that this just might be the right dog for me at this point in my life.
So I set up an appointment with a trainer at the local doggie shelter. To see her for a longer period of time than just for 15 minutes. It will give me the opportunity as well to talk to the trainer about the character traits of this particular dog. I was made aware of the fact that this girl had been at a couple of foster places. And this girl is a guys dog and doesn't do too well with women. She has a pray drive for birds especially and it will take time for her to warm up. So I will have my work cut out for me. But I do look forward to challenges like that.
