im so sorry to read about sophie, we too have a sophie, she is scared to death of retrievers also, we dont know why but when she was a few weeks old found her out in the yard screaming at the fence and wetting herself, she was terrified. Who was on the other side of the fence ?? a golden retriever just standing there staring at her, not moving barking just staring. it was creepy, now sophie just flies at them (the only type )on the attack , thank god she has always been on the lead when we have encountered them.. i suppose she thinks attack them first befre they get her ?? horrible not been a fan since (sorry retriever owners, try not to tar all with the same brush ) |
