Thank you. I wonder how she will react. She knows and trusts my son and his family as she has met them several times at our place when they came over for a stay and their dog knows and trusts us since he has met us at their place several times....but the two dogs themselves have never met.

In about three months from now my son and his family -including a 5 year old male Corgi- will return to the Netherlands. We will live on walking distance from each other and I am looking forward to that. The thing is, our dog (also 5, a female live stock guardian dog, a cao de Castro Laboreiro)...

This seems like an extreme situation with the dog threatening you as well! What others do we can't control ...But its surprising that so many dog owner walk with a smartphone in one hand and an "empty" leash in the other, dog running 100 meters behind or in front of them. I never knew that black...

I do not own one...love their style though.

I wish you all the best. I live in the Netherlands and work with youth that have a hard time coping with school and parents. It sounds like you have to rescue yourself AND the dog and that your father is a psychiatric patient. Seek help as soon as you can...

Welcome! My son and daughter in law have one as well. A very sweet and friendly dog.

I cover the furniture with cheap washable blankets when my dog is in season. She does keep herself clean. On the "worst" days-in her case they are mostly in the second week- I once tried to make her wear a pair of cheap but soft cotton underpants with a hole cut out for her tail at night. She...

Hope everything turns out well and that you can get your dog out of there asap!

My dog (a cao de castro laboreiro) had not been trained or socialized either, she was 7 months old and had never been inside a house, been walked on a lead or anything. She had been spending all her time with her siblings in a back yard, they were taken for frequent walks in a forest were they...

She's absolutely lovely! I only just started reading your threads about her. I was an unexperienced dog person myself 3,5 years ago, have learned so incredibly much since then. The most important lesson was to be patient and always keep observing my dog to see what works for her or not. You're...

How old is Robin? And what kind of dog is he? This sounds a lot like my Lily when she was around 2 years old. From then on we had to keep "managing" our surroundings more carefully and anticipate, watch, read and try to understand her body language when meeting dogs.

So sorry to read this! ❤

I only just read the story today...how is Daisy doing now?

Thank you:emoji_blush:

The only one we know with dogs like these is the breeder (accidental breeder, it was an unplanned litter) He has two of them

These give an impression... To answer your question on what kind of dog she is, the Castro Laboreiro dog is a moloss type of dog, class 2 (Mastiffs) and they were used as life stock guardians in northern parts of Portugal. They are lovely family dogs if you treat them fair, they do not stand...

This is Lily in the front yard

Here are some more:

We got her when she was 7 months old. Tre former owner had a couple of them and they had a surprise litter. Her parents are both from Castro Laboreiro, Portugal. She is now 3 years and 5 months old.
