Cailean
has only had the chance to work sheep at stockdog
trainers. He never grips but works in an upright manner
with body positioning and shouldering and low growls.
Though everything about his behavior indicates
that he probably has a great deal of guardian nature, this
cannot be assessed with certainty until Cailean has an
opportunity to bond with livestock. He is extremely
territorial, announces the arrival of anyone he views as an
intruder. He is constantly patrolling property lines when he is
outside.
He will stand on the tree and bark treed, but
would rather chase pests away than kill them.
He is a soft dog and very responsive to
directions of his owner.
He will not allow anyone in the door unless his
owner is there to welcome them in. He
is very gentle with and protective of and children that he
is bonded to.
ON two different occasions when someone entered the house while
only he and his owner's autistic child were in the living room,
he bit the intruder.
I can see him blossoming once he has a farm of
his own!
