<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 9578428, member: 111&quot;]That&#039;s the pretty little dapple Doxie you adopted not too long after I got Presh, right?&nbsp; Suspect Presh&#039;s issues are a bit different, she&#039;s an Alpha (who will feign submission) and wants what she wants, believe her time in a breeding kennel environment left her with dominance issues and we&#039;ve stopped dog parks because she tends to rather aggressively mount other dogs, usually females but passive males as well - she also tries to tell me what to do, but that doesn&#039;t work.&nbsp; She&#039;s my first &#039;snow-dog&#039;, and the hardest thing for me, after decades of Aussies and Shelties, herders with strong protective instincts and need to please, that like many other similar breeds, while she&#039;s loves me, she&#039;s not protective in any way and I&#039;m pretty sure if I were threatened she&#039;d just look for a belly-rub or treat.&nbsp; She&#039;s also an incorrigible thief, anything paper a special favorite, fortunately she loves her crate, and she has to be there or locked in the back yard if I&#039;m not around to police her - no separation-anxiety, she just waits for any opportunity to steal and destroy, whether I&#039;m near or not.&nbsp; She is smart and learns tricks easily, but has an underlying stubbornness that can be aggravating - and yet I just adore the sweet brat with her friendly, affectionate nature and happy-go-lucky personality...</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
