she's a dobie/shepherd (alsatian) cross :) - some think she has greyhound by the manner and speed by which she runs. she's big - 100 lbs and is full of nothing but love.
:(
sorry to hear that - :(
she's in doggy heaven now though, sniffing tonnes of other dogs butts, and jumping up on nice clean couches, and eating as much kibble as possible.
when sadie, my dobermann/shepherd cross was young, i'd never let her play with toys unless i gave them to her...but more importantly i never tried to fight her for a toy - if i wanted it, itwas MINE and i would be brisk and remove it. Now your problem sounds more serious cause of her age...
Yay dena! i remember my pup being just a baby and it was sooooo rewarding when she came home around this time 3 years ago. Christmas has been the best ever since! yay!
congrats and i bet all your little guys will be happy with their new families. :)
