re: #338 JohnAdams

One of the great things about my late pooch pal was that, as a HERDER, she almost always came when she was called. She was more concerned with protecting her home and her people than anything else. Surprised that yours is a bolter.

He doesn’t bolt…what he does is try to protect our territory from the neighbors’ dogs, on the other side of the fence. He is also extremely protective of me personally, and he tries to control whether I leave him home when I go places every now and then, by grabbing my jeans on the way out the door…not often, but when he’s feeling especially desperate for me not to go.

My first Corgi did the same thing at the fence, and herded, but not like this guy.

Both smart as could be. My first one could pick out each toy by name. Aren’t they awesome dogs?
