Sadly way too many dogs needing help, due to owners being severely Ill in a broken healthcare system.
I am one of those owners.
Wheelchair & bedbound now.
Realistically and sadly I have given up to the horrifying fact that
I can no longer look after them, and may never be able to regain my normal movements again.
I have held on to HOPE BUT have given up.
SO
I have two wonderful girls desperately seeking a perfect home.

They would love to work sheep but need experienced handlers as they are powerful partly trained sheepdogs, luckily they are also suitable as active pets on a quiet property.
Great nature's, the older girl is good with children.
They are NOT used to going for walks. They are used to being trained and with you in the same place.
Not used to traffic and loads of people and dogs coming/going. they need good fences, not left free to roam, 24 hour companionship.
They will not be completely free, you will need yo satisfy me that you are in a position to care for them.
Please note, i am unable to speak so dont try to call me.
The only way I will respond is if you give me LOADS of details, and are not a time waster.

I HAVE NO SPARE ENERGY to waste.
if I think you will genuinely care for one of these girls ASAP I will send you a WHATSAPP
this is the only way I can operate now.
Please understand.
Send me your details

Just one thing missing here. See against thd wall there is a ledge. I would have something similar all along the race so the dog can run on it, jumping down only if needed.
Yards and Yakka.
Super sheep movement facilities make less stress snd easier quicker handling.

This is why you have to be careful about trying dogs to stop the grip. A controlled grip is essential in practical shepherding.

The dogs' failures in training and behaviour are human failures to adapt and understand the dogs' needs.

This is also true in the case of poor healthcare for rare and complex unexplained, very severely disabling conditions.
It should not be the very ILL patients trying to improve or adapt and learn, but the medical professions responsibility is to fulfill the needs and care of patients by learning up to date information.

If I survive my illness, I will use my experience to help both humans and dogs to a better understanding.

We help match you to your perfect sheepdog also help improve your handling skills to build a successful working partnership.
