We've never had to use any of those medications or strong shampoos, for some reason fleas aren't prevalent here.
As for being aloof with strangers, that's the way Shepherds should be too. If they jump and lick every stranger you know you have a nervous shepherd, not desirable. As for food, she works for a dog food company but wants to feed raw. You feed raw don't you Borzoi??? Not to worry, the more fussing and spending she can do, the happier she is...lol...
And of course we are no different than anyone else, we do have leash laws and we obey then. But we are allowed to let then run free in an enclosed empty ball park or outdoor hockey rink in the summer.
I will be more than happy to set her up on a raw diet. If you check out feeding raw, you will see the 4 step video which makes it easier for someone to start it. Or I can email you with it to forward to her.. Give me your email on pm only please or where I can send it..
I like peace in my life after all those years of having to think one step or 10 steps ahead of the shepherds- to me sighthounds are the best well kept secret.. I do miss having cats, but the love I received from my crew- I wouldnt change it for the world!
