She looks like she has some Scottish terrier to me based upon that muzzle. You know BZ if you are willing to pay a little less than one hundred dollars, you can get her DNA tested with <a href="http://www.wisdompanel.com/" rel="nofollow">mixed breed dog analysis.</a><br /><br />Dogs are like us; they have souls. They can be damaged and need time to recover just like us. Your dog seems like a fine lass but is understandably cautious. Lord know what she's been through; what she has suffered at the hands of humans.<br /><br />My Lena's best friend is Ginger the pit bull and to this day, Ginger keeps her distance from me. She'll lick my hand and let me get one pet in, but mostly she wants to be with my Lena or she is curious about Enabran.<br /><br />She is the first dog that approached Eno's stroller that Lena did not well er get angry with...All of this to say that trust has to come in time.<br /><br />You've probably never just met someone and then it was all good. You had to build and cultivate your relationships even if you were initially comfortable with another person. Same with dogs.<br /><br />Given her tactile affection, hell she might be mixed with some spaniel too. We rescued Blackee the cocker spaniel and he was prone to wandering but was VERY physically affectionate.<br /><br />God bless you and your wife for providing a new home to such a wonderful animal.<br /><br />Hey, how does she get along with the cats?Mahndisa S.

Sounds like you are strong, but gentle with her and figuring out that she is sensitive to correction, and as you said with dogs like that, just a little correction usually helps. <br /><br />Lilly is a cute one that is for sure!

First, the evaluation - does she <i>sit</i> on command? <i>Stay</i>? From the post, she has those commands - does she do them off-leash also, with nothing but spoken correction? IF she has basic training and commands behind her, then the route YOU need to take is to find a reputable trainer (PetsMart) and ask to audit a class - with or without her. Once you know the commands she is looking for, work with her, and the trust and respect will grow.<br /><br />Oh, and time. She's probably been shuffled around a bit, and adoptees are usually kind gun-shy about warming up to someone, since they are never sure if they are finally in their "forever home."<br /><br />Any questions, call me. You should still have my number.<br /><br />It would appear you have an unfortunate member of the water dog family.
