I don't have experience with rescue, but Jada is a retired breeder. She was only 2.5 years old when she had trouble with her first and only litter and the breeder had her spayed. Our mutual vet referred me to the breeder and that is how Jada came into our home and our hearts. She was shy and semi-pad trained. I can only speak from our experience, but she is our baby and we love her with all our hearts. She is about 95% pad trained now and has come out of her shyness. She is a little territorial at home,but very social and loving when we are out and about. She has never shown aggression towards children or other small dogs.
Of course she was our only "child" until we adopted Bogie and they get along so great and have been best buddies from the moment we brought Bogie home.
It is a big decision and one to not be taken lightly. Best wishes on whatever you decide. |
