Thank you, Messieurs for the kind komments.
Yes, it seems to become a big dog. The breeder says that it will have roundabout 100 pounds when it is full grown. The RRs are powerful runners and very intelligent with their hunting strategy when hunt in a pack.
The Dog is 10 weeks old and learns very fast. But as you wrote, Shann, it needs a consistent hand in training. It will get a hunting training. We have a dog school here and I think it is necessary for a dog like the RR. We want to have a dog that is walking beside our paint horse without a cord. Our last dog did it without problems and we hope that we can do it with the RR too
It is said, that the RR is a family dog who defends his herd without compromize. And it is not a barker. The RR uses his voice only when the needs arises. The RR I saw before were friendly dogs and not aggressive.
Will show some more pictures if you like.
Shann, it is sad to lose his dog just with such a desease like degenerative myleopathy. It seems to be exceptional at the RR. But that's no comfort. I hope you find another princess like Zoe was.
Now I've to feed my own breed and the dog. Post more later.
Best,
Haebbie
