About Lady

Lady is a very sweet dog. She is a sheep herding dog breed and protects sheep from fox and coyote or animals that pose a threat to the herd. She’s still a puppy and has some puppy mannerisms like jumping up out of excitement. She would love to give you a hug if you allow her. She still gets very excited when people come to the house and greets them with barks and jumps. It’s something I have been working on with her by establishing a specific location when new and familiar guests arrive. She is very much a protector, but not in an aggressive way. She lets people and animals alike know she’s outside and on her property. She mainly wants visits from both, but I’ve noticed she’s more vocal around men. Any male visitors she barks at more than females (humans). She loves playing with other dogs and gets along great with cats. We have 4 children in age ranges from toddler to teen and she’s done well with all of them. Unfortunately, we need to rehome lady for a few personal reasons. Our metal fence stands at about 4 feet tall, but one part was damaged before we moved into our home to which neighbors stated they were replacing and never did. Lady recently learned she can jump over the fence so now we must walk her in the back yard and she does not get to run around like once before. Also, my husband recently switched to night shift. She’s a great dog with people home and generally quiet but when we leave she is vocal which interrupts his sleep. Lastly, for me personally, adding a large breed dog to a family of 6 was more added stress than I should have taken on. It was a gut feeling I ignored to fulfill a family dream of having a pet. A decision I feel awful over since now I am deciding to rehome her. Something I never wanted to do with a family pet.
