Hello there Shelley and Guinivere!
I've just returned from a few weeks' holiday, and I'm so happy to
hear the good news!
So now you have a golden girl... It will be interesting to read your
posts, and to see if you notice any difference in the way Guinivere
approaches work compared to Juds. I'm curious to hear if you notice
any difference in working between a male and a female guide.
I've had five girls up to now, of three different breeds - two
Collies, two GSD's, and one Lab. They were all different, as each dog
is different, but I was told that females are more autonomous than
males in decision-making, and they have more initiative when it comes
to finding solutions.
I don't know if that can be generalized, but it would be interesting
to hear what people with an experience of both male and female guides
have to say.
Take care, and let us know about your progress.
Cheers and wags,
Ollie & Pretty
