Lady is a six-year-old Irish Setter. She was purchased from a breeder one year ago. She has been great with the three resident males (two Golden Retrievers and one Red Lab) and will chase the cats if they taunt her. She is housebroken and has had no accidents. She has been given free roam of part of the house with one of the males when left alone and all has been well. She was surrendered to RAGOM because her SO is elderly and will be moving from her home to a small condo due to mobility issues.
Lady was very scared as she arrived at her foster home late Sunday afternoon, but she recovered quickly once she met the other dogs. She even ate dinner that first evening (and has not missed a meal since). So far, she is still dragging a longline when she's outside because she isn't always willing to come into the house when it's time to go in. She also startles when there's a loud noise, and since we live in an urban area of St. Paul, that is something that happens fairly often.
She started approaching me for pets (when I'm petting another dog) on Monday evening....which is amazingly fast for a dog from a breeder. She is obviously more social than most dogs we get from breeders, but she still has a lot of the characteristics....so she will require a real fence, at least one large, normal dog, and no young kids in her permanent home.
We go to the vet next week so we'll know more at that time. Please check back regularly for more updates.
