In all these years, we never have had a dog problem. My husband loves them and works extensively with them. He uses them to work cattle and for companionship.
For whatever reason, now we have a dog problem. I think it might be because, even though they are both spayed and neutered, one is a male and one is a female. As I mentioned before, we have not had a male dog in 37 years. The problem is, my husband says the male dog is not the culprit. So I guess Dixie has to go.
What I found was a vet clinic in Miles City that will take her. WE pay $55 and they keep her until they place her for adoption. Unless she is a problem and then they will do something different. I hate to take this way out, but I think it is best under the circumstances. She is a very attractive dog and minds well. It is just that she gets in trouble and it is hard to stay a step ahead of her. We have never confined our dogs or tied them up, so I need to train the hubby if that is what the answer is; and he doesn't want to have to tie them. We have no kennel, so that means we shut them up when we leave. He was gone for just a bit yesterday and she killed a kitten. That is 2 that we know of. We just can't have that.
I am going to tell the vet clinic the problems she has. I would hope that someone with kids would take her and play with her A LOT. She will work cattle, too, but the family deal would be the best for MY PEACE OF MIND.
