Rip wants to be the right-hand-man on the farm. She is a
very strong alpha female and *she* wants to be the one helping
out the master. She has never been asked to help, she just
does. She will help move horses from one pasture to
another with the attitude of "Mom said to MOVE!" If the
horses get out she will put them back in. She has strong
heading instincts but will go to the heel if needed. She
will give a dominant glare to get the stock to move. Rip
loves the foals and will lie with them. She is weary of
new horses but warms up to them when she sees that master
accepts them. Rip is one heck of a gopher dog! She
will sit at their holes and wait them out like a cat. She
also keeps coyotes and foxes at bay. Rip is an
independent-minded dog with good judgment. She is overly
friendly with most strangers but will bark at those her master
does not like. |
