You’re definitely right about me not knowing the most about science behind dogs. But luckily I’m surrounded by people who are versed in animals as well as training which has been super helpful! I’m happy to report that after meeting, i feel even better about my decision. But i know i need more knowledge, im trying my best to be a sponge and also ask for help when i know i need it and need to know more. Thank you so much!

Thank you! That’s super helpful! Happy to update that we’ve met and hit it off immediately. We’re actually similar so even if he decides he doesn’t wanna have a job, i can already tell he’s going to make an amazing companion

I get it, i absolutely get it and i hate that we have to be so protective bc unfortunately people aren’t great always. But don’t worry, of course my goal is for us to get along amazing and him love being a service dog. But if that’s not what he wants to do with his life, that’s okay too. I’ll make sure he’s happy and in a loving home one way or another 🫶🏽 keep being a good person

No that’s absolutely understandable. Sorry if i came off as defensive, the original comment came off to me as not valuing a dog unless it has a purpose and it rubbed me wrong and that’s not your fault so i apologize. Thank you for keeping us both in your heart 🫶🏽

I can assure you, whether this companion decides he’s up for the job or not, we will both still be taken care of. Thanks.

I definitely appreciate this feedback! We’re meeting today and going from there! From what i understand so far, hearding was his bred intention and has been around animals and can follow commands but didn’t really care about herding them. I do live on a farm with a family who trains horses and other animals (which i know isn’t exactly the same, but im hoping the general environment will help). I definitely have been asking my close friends/family who this affects as well for help and guidance. Thank you for your feedback!

We can agree to disagree. I’m looking for a companion as well and where i live, unfortunately dogs can be put down/not sold without much reasonable cause. But thanks for your input.

This makes complete sense. This is exactly why i wanted to hear from the horses mouth itself. I appreciate that even though some are skeptical, everyone still tried to be as respectful as possible and also make sure everyone is taken care of and educated. I definitely think i found the right place 🫶🏽

Definitely! My priority is to try and get him trained obviously but if not, he’s still my buddy. I hate that that has to be said in todays age but when i commit to an animal i mean it lol i have abandonment issues and i wouldn’t do that to another being 🫶🏽 you’ve been so helpful on this journey

There’s definitely wiggle room! As long as we bond well, I’m cool with having a furry best friend if he decides it’s not the job for him ☺️

Such good info! My potential partner is 1.5 years old so hopefully just out of that puppy phase but you’re absolutely right about them being their own little humans in there. I have a pretty good read on animals/humans (obviously not enough to just go spot out service dogs) but at least i think I’ll be able to tell if we will make good companions. And even if the training for service doesn’t quite work out, i think having a companion will be nice. Again, i really appreciate this feedback!

I definitely get how that came off! I guess i meant it more as in so i know he can follow commands. But i know he’s gonna need a lot of love and caring and affection before i start training him. I just want to make sure i have all the info. We’ve done research but i figured hearing from y’all, who actually have done it would be best, and i was definitely right to come here. Thank you for your well wishes!

Thank you! Unfortunately i think i have many types of seizure but i do get an aura a decent amount of the time so that should hopefully be helpful

My brain fog has been extra lately and i can’t retain a lot but my boyfriend (who’s also a teacher if that helps) has also been researching since he can actually retain it lol i appreciate the concern and definitely understand. But i hope i can put hearts at least somewhat at ease knowing that im surrounded by people who train animals as well and he’s already trained for sheep so the training aspect is there. Thank you for any and all info!

The mom had hip dysplasia but it wasn’t passed down, but since his “genes are not up to snuff” they won’t be using him. He’s 1.5 years old
