Kadi,
Thank's for your input. In truth I do not know. You are probably right.
She is a good little mutt but needs lots of exercise.
I'm always concerned that a person that adopts one of the rescues, who has landed here with us for a bit of fostering, is the right person for the dog, is kind and patient. I worry that the little dog will get adopted by an...
I know one thing about Sirah, she needs space and exercise. She needs a chance with a good person or family who can appreciate her antics and develop her abilities.
Again, thank you for your assessment.
Mike A.

In a response, commentary, whatever of my former post(s)...
Wow! I still have Sirah at the house. Still a 'foster' here.
What started out as just another foster has become a lesson in humility. When ever you think you are the brightest bulb in the marquee... Sirah.
She is a piece of work. Alone, a great little mutt. With other dogs, often a dominance issue. She is strong, and she has a mind of her own. High prey drive. And fast...
She came her last August - how times flies. I'm in no real hurry for her to be adopted, I guess. She brings an energy to the bunch - some times at a price. And she loves to eat paper... Can't figure that out.
Now that winter is showing more spring breaks we'll spend a bit more time working on stuff. Think I'll see if her nose is as good as I think it is. Maybe a little home-made agility stuff...
She's about a year old now... Yup, she's a project. But she's down at my feet as I type. And she makes me smile.

Hi Mike!
It must be a Mal thing....JD will shred paper towels, tissues, anything like that in a heartbeat. And he's silent and deadly when he's stealing it. Usually I don't even know he has it until I see him skulk away (his giveaway that he's got something in his mouth he's not supposed to have!) and hear the paper shredding.
And I totally know what you mean about the humility aspect. Just when I think I'm a step ahead of JD...yeah, well I discover I'm probably 1/2 step behind. Always keeps me on my toes but that's what I love the most - always trying to figure out something new for him.
I'm glad Sirah landed in such great hands. You're doing a wonderful thing.
D

She sounds so much like my pup!
Hope she finds a really great home. Is she becoming a permanant foster with you, Mike?

Good to hear from you, Mike! Miss your insight on the forum.:smile:
Sounds like the pup thought you were bored and wanted you to have something to do. 
Good luck, and I hope to read more from you about this girl and your others. Check in more. Keep us in line.:smile:

Not highjacking, but.....
The paper shredding....NOPE, not a mali thing at all!
My male is one of the sneakiest paper snatchers around. Poof & it's gone. He doesn't eat it just shreads it into a neat pile.
He especially likes paper towels...and....he's 100% W/L GSD.
Good to see you here Mile. We've missed ya. Good luck with the pup. Sounds kinds like a keeper, to me.

Then with a Mal/GSD cross (suspected) Mike has no hope of ever seeing paper alive
