I just read this entire thread for the first time. What a wonderful story. Pairs and you are so lucky to have found each other.

Thank you Southern and Jodief, Paris is a dream dog. Of course, for a while she was kinda a nightmare dog, but I knew what was in there, it just took time to draw out the dog I knew she could be. We loves us some Paris!

I just read this thread too. Baymule, what an awesome story, with such a happy ever after! Paris really is blessed to have found you and your DH for her forever home!

Our Maremma LGD is just a puppy, at six weeks. She will be staying with Mom and adult sister, Allie, until she is 16 weeks, so she can get some extra training. Her first job when she get to our little farm will be guarding chickens. And she is going to have lots of supervision! We are also going to start with simple obedience training, from the git go! Oh, and lots of love!

Thank you @goatgurl those are my favorite pictures.

@Devonviolet just remember, chickens are the ultimate squeaky toy! Paris was 10 months old when we got her, the age, as I learned, that LGD's want to "play" with those wonderful squawky feathered things. Oh, DARN! This one quit moving! Oh wait! There's another one!

I don't know how Paris's previous owners punished her for killing the chickens, but when she got here, she absolutely HATED the chickens. She had behavior issues that had to be dealt with before I could even thing about her guarding the chickens. Even cooped up, they got the benefit of her protection, because she guarded the yard. I can't wait to move and give her more room to play on.

I have been trying this read this thread for a few days now from my phone. I finally got a few minutes to sit and read the whole thing on my computer. Just wanted to add my input in saying this is a fantastic read. You are a very special person to take in and undo bad training. Love & patience is the key and you more than proof this through your story. Thankfully you and Paris found each other.

Echoing what the others have said, both you and your DH are great examples and you have a wonderful companion and guardian. Great read!

@Baymule... thank you for not giving up on Paris! This is a great story! She's such a good girl... I'm proud of her!
About lunging at chickens during food time... my Great Pyr mix is protective of his food, and I'm trying to get him to stop growling at the goats when there's food involved. This gave me hope, @Baymule and @HoneyDreameMomma! Thank you so much!
