From two weeks she acted phobic around children, and she has always been a very nervy dog despite us doing our experienced best to socialise her. Some are just like that, just like people, and those sort of dogs are much more likely to end up in rescue because they are harder to manage and love (especially by half-arsed owners)than your average laid-back dog.

I'm not, I confess, a domestic pet person (although I dearly loved a cat I inherited) and my lifestyle certainly made keeping one impossible. So why would anyone keep one if they had no intention of loving it as a pet or using it as a working dog?
