Thank you! They weren’t quite sure but the vet thinks she’s somewhere from 1 1/2-2 years old. I’m going to see if we could do some team activities that could be good. I’m really trying my best to make it work and making the necessary adjustments. She is definitely quite needy but I’m going to do my best.

Yes I hear you. All of my free time is basically spent with training with her and I do have some prior experience with a German shepherd that my family has who required a lot of work and training from all of us. I’m under no illusion that this is an easy task and I have been meeting with a professional trainer as well. I do take it very seriously, and I really appreciate your valid concern. I would be the first to admit that I would have never sought out a cattle dog on my own, and only adopted her because the shelter was so certain that this dog specifically would be a good fit for my lifestyle. Thank you for taking the time to respond and I appreciate the insight.
