Loving the herd life
So, since I've never had a LGD, I'm a bit confused on where to even start. She showed up in my yard almost 2 weeks ago and nobody has claimed her. She has about zero training, other than she is apparently housebroken.
What I know:
She's about 4 months old, found a front incisor puppy tooth cap in my carpet
She LOVES to chew stuff up...RIP slippers
She's learning to walk on a leash with a collar
She seems pretty smart, learned to sit within about 5 minutes
She is stubborn and doesn't listen, kinda does her own "thang"
She is good with the livestock, doesn't harass anybody - apparently has a thing for cats, I had to retrieve her out of my neighbors yard since he's a cat hoarder.
Like Baymule told me, she's big and only going to get bigger. I feel kind of thrown to the wolves here because she is big, she has a different mentality than I'm used to. I have always had herding dogs, and they're like the Rottweiler on Over the Hedge...PLAY! She wants to play, she play bows and barks at me and the other dog to play, but uhm...how do you play with a dog that isn't all about fetching stuff?
