Notes:
Rosie has a fairly quiet spirit. She loves to be near me, though not a completely velcro dog. She’ll also go off with my other dog, Samwise, to check out things on the farm or in the woods, but often comes back to check in with me. She is reserved when meeting new people. She’ll bark at first, but after being allowed to sniff and check things out, she’s usually good with them after a few minutes. She’s had some poor experiences with little children invading her space and being otherwise a little “scary” to this reserved young dog, so currently is fairly cautious when meeting a new child. There are children who regularly come to the barn that Rosie does well with. I took her to a local festival with lots of people, other dogs and activities going on and she was a rock star: she stayed calm and by my side. Rosie has never been mouthy or nippy, she’s biddable and easy to train. She wants to please, work, and be engaged with me. She’s happy to chill on a bed, in her crate or at my feet when nothing is going on, especially if she has a good chew. She loves being out with me as I do horse chores and ride in the ring or on the trail. She loves to play fetch and came with a natural instinct for this. She enjoys car rides with me. She was a calm “office dog” in my cube at work with me for the first several months of her life.

Working Description: Rosie lives on my horse farm. She is regularly around my horses and good with them. She is calm while I’m riding in the ring and great for coming along on trail rides. Rosie has a definite instinct to herd and wants to herd the horses when they are running around or otherwise “being bad.” Sadly, the horses aren’t very herdable. She has done a herding instinct test and showed good initial instinct with sheep. I hope to get her back for some more lessons.
