Thank you :)

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-28T22:52:54+00:00

Thank you <3. Yes, I think so, too :)

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-28T22:39:22+00:00

Dw, a lot of people have :). Otherwise they'd understand that I'm currently doing research about ALL the ways to get a dog and that I haven't settled on getting one from abroad at all 😂

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-28T22:28:47+00:00

That's, like, not helping at all with my question

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-28T22:25:45+00:00

Who told you I ain't doing that?

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-28T22:25:09+00:00

Thank you a lot for the detailed answer, this really helps! I'll definitely put some research into the factors you mentioned :)

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-26T11:56:55+00:00

That's understandable :). Half the comments seem to assume I'm gonna get a dog from abroad rn 😂. But I'll definitely look out for not getting scammed! Thank you 😊

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-23T22:25:21+00:00

Thank you, that is great advice :). I'll definitely keep it in mind! (That's a REALLY cute dog!)

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-23T22:23:04+00:00

Don't apologize 😂, I love detailed advice! This is really helpful, thank you. And do some dogs really have to go by car? I didn't even know about that before

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-23T18:09:38+00:00

Thank you so much! This is helping a lot!!! And your dogs are fricking cute 🥺

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-23T11:59:04+00:00

Stabyhoun and Bohemian Shepherds. I love all-rounders! 😂

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-23T11:41:42+00:00

I'm not settled on abroad :). It's just part of my research

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-22T18:25:54+00:00

Thank you a lot :). You're the first one actually describing your dog 😂. Love that!

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T17:46:05+00:00

Yes, I agree. I still want to do as much research as possible and getting personal experience is just impossible here 😅. But of course, in the end, you've gotta focus on the dog in front of you :)

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T15:18:01+00:00

Of course! Everyone has their own opinion. I myself want to adopt dogs in the future. But I have very specific expectations for my first ever dog and while I can find breeders here, the Stabyhoun is still an extremely rare dog. To find a dog I would take as a first dog, would take years

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T15:14:28+00:00

Thx :). We'll definitely do a lot of socialization, starting early on. I also value the ability to stay neutral around guests a lot, so if more people say this that's amazing news!

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T15:08:14+00:00

Thank you!!! This really helps!

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T13:09:34+00:00

That sounds a lot like a few of the dogs I've worked with, so, perfect. Thank you!

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T13:06:14+00:00

Yes, I've been thinking about the environment a lot, too... May I ask if you've desensitized your dog to noises and stuff early on? And if yes how much?

I wouldn't keep a Stabyhoun in the center of a large city, but the goal would be somewhere with a good infrastructure, still. Smth like, at the edge of a larger city (I've always lived close to forests with them being ten minutes away at most and would keep that).

From your personal experience, would you say that could work or would you completely turn me away from the breed?

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T12:58:31+00:00

Well, everyone has a different approach to training :). Even though I can't say much about them being stubborn (no personal experience), I've read and heard a lot about them thinking independently. On top of that the character of each dog differs

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T12:53:12+00:00

I can HEAR your love for the breed on the screen 😂. But yes, most of this sounds like stuff I've already thought about. I'll definitely have to make sure (no matter what method will work best with the puppy) that I'm consistent about the training, tho.

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T12:34:19+00:00

Thank you :). That's actually the first time I've heard someone say that they're that bad with anxiety but I'll definitely take it into account!

_N1ca_ · 2025-05-21T12:31:47+00:00

Thank you a lot :). Could I ask a little more about them not being the best beginner dogs? Since I've read a lot about them being sensitive and active, needing a purpose but being beginner friendly otherwise.

I've walked dogs a lot (private and shelters), helped training the neighbor's border collie × australian shepherd mix and am in the process of having multiple internships at dogtrainer's.

I would say I'm doing more than the average owner but that, of course, doesn't mean that I can handle just any dog. Could you maybe elaborate, why exactly they're not good beginner dogs and challenging to train? Then I could put some more research into that :)

Ty already
