The Special Kid

Disobedient, originally uploaded by manymuddypaws.

Boone is odd- he has more quirks than any dog I've met. He definitely marches to his own drum so to speak...

He does things on his own terms and sitting in the snow for a group photo was not something he was going to do today. Instead he'd like to sit two feet away.

I sometimes wonder what he would be like if I had gotten him as a puppy. Sometimes he is just so Brilliant. It is frustrating when he acts like such a dork. I wonder if more socialising would have made a difference, or if he would be the same no matter the up bringing... One of lifes mysteries I suppose.

I have had him for three years now and I think that he is as good as he going to get temperament wise, and I am okay with that. But sometimes it's just a tad bit frustrating....

I've spoken with the owner of his sister, and his relatives are all pretty well the same. It is unfortunate that Pyr Sheps don't have better temperaments as I think they are just an incredible breed. Perfect size, good assortment of coat type and colors, super smart, athletic, and then you get to temperament and it pretty well washes everything away. The dog can look as perfect as can be but if mentally they are unable to handle the job there is a problem.

I love him though- despite his many quirks. :)
