We inherited her at a year old and already had her litter sister (from 8 weeks) who is just a big teddy bear with the loveliest temperament, so it was a bit of a shock when neurotic dog moved in! We've had her for 6 years now and she is much improved but will never be what she should have been, but we love her. Like you, we won't be breeding from her and again, like you, I think she would have been an even bigger mess had she gone to a less doggy family.SusanMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09622557936441532144noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-77790617023391349152015-09-17T05:11:11.818+00:002015-09-17T05:11:11.818+00:00Lucky wee chook !

She is highly sensitized to touch and so on, has super fast reaction times, and was phobic about kids right from having her eyes open. She is totally unlike her placid mama and outgoing Brad Pitt of a litter brother! I've used all my doggy skills to get her to the stage she is at now, where she is pretty sane, if a little skewiff at times. I shudder to think how she'd have gone in a less doggy family. Ps she is spayed and will not be passing on her 'less than sterling for a Lab' temperament! T.L.
