Hannah4181 260 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Can i ask why you think a child that "smells" like a diabetic would awaken the herding instincts in a part collie blood dog?!!?! :icon_eek: In my experience, the most common reason that collie types will obsessively herd . . . . . is boredom and lack of exercise. Even full collies from working stock can be stopped of this behaviour with training , exercise and a channeling of their work mentality. Quote Link to post

chimp 299 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 dont they have dogs that can smell cancer in people ? either way he is giving away a dog , not selling but giving ffs . so what is he? a peddlar or a mug ? you cant win on this site sometimes Quote Link to post
Flamin'Nora! 50 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 chimps right dogs can sense things us humans cant like certain cancers or when an epiletic is going to have a fit. diabetic people give off different chemicals in their skin because of the sugar levels so he could be genuine?

Hannah4181 260 Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Very true a dogs sense of smell is used for various medical/disability dogs, most commonly to detect fits before they happen in suffers of epilepsy. My point was, i just find it very hard to believe that a dog would react in that way, especially a puppy, ONLY because it is detecting a different scent from a diabetic child. I am the first to admit that collie blooded dogs can and often do have weird/abnormal obsessions, however i have yet to see or hear of one that can not be corrected through training. Anyway . . good luck homing the dog. Quote Link to post
