Keary
hasn't had a lot of chance to fulfill her farm potential but she
has been able to prove herself in her limited experience.
She worked a pen of sheep at a clinic. She herds in a
crouching position and works in close. She is a naturally
exuberant dog with much energy, but she worked the sheep slowly
and methodically with much forethought. Keary is quite
protective her her owners' rabbits. When other dogs
approach the rabbits, Keary will step between them to keep the
dogs away. Keary is supremely gentle with children and
uses gentle shouldering to keep them where they should be.
She knows the boundaries of her territory and stays there,
resents intrusion of strange dogs, patrols the perimeter, and
announces the arrival of strangers. Keary trees squirrels
but doesn't stay at the tree, rather she tells her owner come
look. She hunts for mice and has chased off large ground
hogs. She is independent in thought but is trainable.
She gets along well with other dogs and is very tolerant of
children. |
