[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 940069, member: 13050"] Let's face it, one should be able to choose their own dog as it's going to be at your side for many years to come. The timing has got to be right too, some people can replace a dog the following day while with others time is needed to heal. When I lost my G/Shepherd to cancer my friends brought me a Ridge back/Lab pup. I knew they were only trying to help but I kinda resented it. I still have her and she turned out to be a truly excellent companion and guard dog, she is however very sensitive to my moods. She has never got a hiding in her life as I taught her to listen to voice commands only, she has only got love from me but I sometimes wonder if she didn't pick up my initial emotions when still a pup. That being said, I have never seen a dog that does not react to love and kindness, it's what builds character and confidence in an animal. Good luck with the little girl CB, she will never be your Ruby but give her a chance to grow and she may surprise you ;-) . [/QUOTE]
