I didn't find it offensive. Many of us on here have multiple dog homes. Most of us on here have some kind of livestock. If the dog was dog aggressive, killed chickens, etc, it would be something those of us on here would need to know before offering a new home.
I try not to judge people on what they do if I am not living there situation. I was just trying to get clarification
Thank you. I am not sure of the chickens. I have never given him the opportunity to be with them. He has to be on a leash at all times outside. He has no boundry control at all. He is very interested in the cat, but the cat is smart and stays away. He is only agressive to my other male and only because my other male is very timid and snapped at him and they got into a snapping match. He was here for three weeks with no issue with the male until the snapping match. They have been seperated since then. I will not allow fighting. I have tried to reintroduce them 2 more times, but it resulted in more snapping. No biting as my other dog had no slobber on him, just snapping. They are fine outside because my other male has 6 acres to go around, but not in the house. Hence the seperation. Sherman the newfie just wants to play, but my other male (Sheltie) is scared of him and snaps. Sherman will then snap back. I have 2 kennels for them outside, 2 dog rooms. The newfies get one and the other dogs get the other. I have to rotate who gets family time and it is very upsetting to Sherman to be seperate. He is much better when he is not with the female. They learned many bad habits together and feed off each others energy.
I was told he lived in a kennel 24/7. He is lacking in all major skills. He is potty trained for the most part. He has had a few accidents, but that is not a big deal to me. He does not get on the furniture. He does not counter surf. He is not toy or food agressive at all. He is easy to bathe and brush. He does not walk well on a leash, if he gets out he runs. Fast and far. He does slobber alot, but I just wear an apron
. He does bark at the horses, but has never tried to chase or bite them. He is very hyper in the house and has alot of energy and paces from room to room for hours. He will only settle down if he is in his room or on a leash in the house and you make him lay down. He is a door bolter, if the door is open he will knock you down to get through it.
I have been working with him the whole time I have had him and he is better, but I have other animals and I am not as consistant as I should be. I think he would benefit with someone who can spend more quality time with him.
