Spiritwind,
No, Molly wasn't the best bred dog; probably why she's like this. She wasn't socialized until she was five months old, when she came to live with us. Her "breeder" kept her in a wire kennel in a dog house in the back of the yard before we picked her up. She's gotten better over the time we've had her, but Collies are very sensitive dogs. They don't forget anything; bad experiences, etc. At least in my experience.
She's okay now, but I could tell she was very upset when all this was happening. I'm actually surprised she didn't nip the kid. She's never bitten a child, or anyone before; but than again I've never met a kid stupid enough to go up to a strange dog and torment them.
That's EXACTLY what I said to my mom when I told her what happened; she agreed.Originally posted by Twisterdog
Stupid people shouldn't breed.
This is the first time something like this has happened. Most kids that go there ask about Molly, if it's okay for them to pet her, etc. and I just tell them no, because she's very shy, and she won't come up to strangers when you call her. Those are the kinds of kids I can tolerate, and that I respect.
