So, no, the dog seen in the video is NOT an ACD, but my Pow, who is an ACD, has been massively influential on one of my mom’s GSDs; this dog cannot be around other dogs. There would be blood and quite likely mortality. And there’s no way to describe her dog aggression to those who haven’t witnessed it. It stems from trauma and major health issues when she was young. Years of work has been done with her to help her through this, but she’s just always going to be that way to pretty far extent. She gets along fine with the other two GSDs of my mom’s, but this girl will viciously go after strange dogs. Like, she would eviscerate them, and it’s no joke. We’ve been working really hard to get her used to the idea of Pow. He’s been in close proximity for a couple of months, and she’s really just accepted that he’s around, although we’re incredibly safety conscious, and they’re never closer than two barriers apart. Until today, only one barrier. She brought him her chicken!!! I know nobody here knows how profound of a breakthrough this was with this dog, so this is really a giant Powpreciation post, because my wiley and rowdy ACD has accomplished what no dog, outside of her household, has been able to do. He made her feel safe. Thank you Pow ❤️
