My new dog arrived yesterday. He is a Romanian rescue. He is surprisingly relaxed and confident. He is what people sometimes call a Velcro dog who follows me all around wherever I go. So quiet, I was glad he actually barked once this afternoon, My son had him off the lead in the local park, and he got on splendidly with other dogs and their owners, all playing nicely together. No sign of running off and responds well to re call. I can't believe how well this dog is responding! I must say the rescue woman gave a lot of thought as to what sort of dog would suit me, and me suit the dog.
I should say I am lucky, as many of these Romanians have endured terrible hardships that make them difficult to train.
