Dear Teri,
Didn't you find "other" breeds change at sexual maturity? The TRD temperament is not stable, my rescue is Jekly and Hyde. I'm never sure which dog is with me. Yes, these dogs are very sensitive and thinkers. They are known to get bored with repetition - once they master something they don't like doing it over and over again.
We had 5 inches of rain in a few hours and the water table is already high so our yard became a lake. An old stump stuck up and Ginger had the problem of getting to it without getting wet. My husband and I watched her try several ways to get there. You caould almost smell the smoke coming from her brain. LOL She went thru low water and accross the mulch in the garden to get to the stump. She then jumped the 12 inches to the stump. She was now stranded! She finally made it off the stump and traced her way back thru the garden.
What you are wtnessing to me is primitive traits in breed. That is why you say you've not seen dog like this. They are VERY much a one person dog!!!
I come from Norwegian Elkhound background - thinking, hunters, independent and lovable. Close but not.

P.S. You sound as if you have avery good start but no one can really predict and this breed is unforgiving. |
