You never know. She will sell the friendlier ones to pet homes as do most working dog breeders. :g_wink:
Not as puppy ;) adult or young adults who are not suitable (enough)for the work (anymore)to experienced homes after torough evaluation here at home. I still get back they have more than enough " under the hood". Been 3 so far, in age between 1/2 yo. 2 are very active pets, 1 working as a helping dog.

I got my mixed girl from a shelter. She would be great with young children. She does her best not to knock over my 15 month old granddaughter. And has even been hugged by her.

My only problem with what is wanted out of the perspective pup is the 100% trustworthy around the children. I just feel that no dog should ever be trusted 100% with small children, no matter how good it is. There should always be an adult watching over them when they're together. Just my opinion.

I completely agree, accidents happen, and better off someone who can control the situation be there if it does.
