I adopted her from her breeder days before the breeder intended to ship the whole litter to a local shelter. She barks at my kids, none stop - haven't been able to teach her not to. She lunges at my goats, and chases the cats around the house. She loves hanging out with my older calmer dogs when I bring them inside, but those are outdoor livestock guardians and we don't bring them in very often. She has more energy than I anticipated when I adopted her, and my health isn't where it was 20 years ago when I raised a german shepard puppy. I just can't handle her, and despite my best efforts very little of my training seems to stick with her. She's highly intelligent, I can see it in her eyes when she's listening to me talk to her. Not full comprehension, but she looks at challenges with the same intense gaze that tells me she's trying to puzzle something out. On top of my own limitations, my husband was laid off from work (and healing from a shattered spine) so money has been tight.
