I have observed Cheyenne over the years. She is a very well mannered dog, but, and I have to say this, "Cheyenne has more of a wild dog attitude towards people and children". I love her to death and it hurts even me for Cheryl to be forced to this decision. I would give her a home, but she does not do well with small dogs either. The more active the young dog or child, the more standoffish she gets until she feels she is backed into a corner. We all know how animals act when they are cornered and have no other way out. For some reason - puppies and young children bring out the cornered, I must protect myself reaction from Cheyenne. She would be perfect in a home that is much quieter. She is a good watch dog and as Cheryl says - well trained. She tells you if she needs to go out - with that "look"
and loves to go on walks to the park. Travels well for short trips - like to the park, etc. Don't know how she does with long trips, or I would put her on the truck with Cheryl's step-father. If anyone is hurting here, it is Cheryl. This has been the roughest thing she has had to face. Cheyenne would not do well with a muzzle or being locked up. Just having to sit behind the baby gate and watch into the room is hard enough! BY THE WAY - Justin started pulling up on the furniture this last week - I expect he will be walking very shortly.......G'mama
