Quincy, from Polish straydog to Dutch service dog

Okay, I added pictures to the Fay/Dany album...pictures of Dany Dany is a Catalan Sheepdog (Gos d'Atura) and since 2 weeks in The Netherlands. (he was rescued in Spain) He's a 1,5 year old neutered male and is fostered by a dogtrainer and -behavioralspecialist She's euforic about him, he's kind, social with all humans and all animals, no hunting instinct, loves to work, very clever, very stable...has the right size/weigth as well.

Tomorrow she and I will talk over the phone some more and well, if it sounds positive, I plan on meeting Dany in person since he is not that far away from me

Will let you all know how this continues...

ohhhhhhh
Dany is beautiful!!

Okay, not to be a party pooper, because I just love Danys pictures, but looks like he might take a bit of groomer and how would that be for you?

If that is okay, then wow, looks awesome and is already with a trainer, behavior specialist, so would probably be able to move right into some special training soon.

Can't wait to hear your impressions upon meet and greet.

Sharlene....Doodles need grooming too...so in that area it wouldn't make a difference That's why there are groomers

It's a tough choice. Fay with her butt in the air won my heart!! And with her paws down on the ground ready to play. It's an exciting time for you Sas. I'm happy for you!

Okay, a lot more to tell today I spoke with Ruth, the lady that's housing him for now, and he does sound like he is absolutely perfect (for me anyway) He has that nice balance between being "a real hard worker" and being a patato couch when there's nothing to do Kind of like Yunah, she was fanatic whenever she had to work (a real Border Collie), but off work she was more of a flegmatic Lab. And that's the balance I am trying to find, a hard worker but without the nervousness and restlessness (leading to frustration) so often seen in Border Coliies or Australian Shepards to name a few.

And oh, he's NOT a Catalan Sheepdog, he's a Pyrenean Shepherd (probably mix) Oficially a French breed , contrary to the Spanish Catalan Sheepdog. But since he was found in Spain, he's still Spanish to me I simply adore the semi pricked ears

So, Ruth and I agreed I would inform the service dog school and let them call her to make an appointment to meet Dany...both the service dog school trainer and myself will go and meet Dany. I hope the trainer has a vacancy in his agenda pretty soon I'm pretty excited about Dany...so lets hope it all will work out well
