One of the students in my intermediate obedience class is a guy with a Bouvier that I had in puppy class and beginner obedience. They’re doing so well with him; he’ll be a year old soon so he’s at like prime big dumb idiot age and I love it. He’s such a goof, but there’s these glimpses where he just snaps into working mode and ahhhhh I love it so much. Makes me miss having a working breed. The huas are lovely and amazing, don’t get me wrong, but I’ll always have a soft spot for a big ol’ working breed dog. It’s making me seriously rethink Third Dog breeds. The only concern with a larger, working breed dog is I really really really don’t want to have to crate and rotate. I’ve had to do it before and it sucked and I know I absolutely do not want to do it again. And I have two little ~10 lb huas, both of which are very quick to snap at big dumb puppies who are just doing puppy stuff (which Scarlett doesn’t appreciate from any size puppy tbh) but are also like four times their size at 16 weeks old. So yeah. Idk. Idk idk idkkkkkkkkkkkk
