We already had 2 dogs - a border collie and a Leonburgher. Porter, my Leonburgher, didn't mind the Husky at all, and the Husky wasn't interested in him. The Husky was all about my Border Collie! And Einstein THOUGHT he was ready for (finally) somebody to play with him at his own speed.
By the time the evening turned towards night, Einstein (my border collie) was hiding underneath my office desk... because the Husky couldn't "get in there" to goose him to play more. I'd never seen Einstein completely worn out before. But since he led the Husky to our backyard, I figure he got what he wanted! (LOL)
The next day we called Husky Rescue in KC. They were thrilled to death with this dog. I say good luck to them. She'd make a gorgeous pet, but I've never seen so much action in motion for such lengths of time! And boy, could that dog "talk"...!!!! I loved her, but knew it was not a match made in heaven at my house.
Einstein, on the other hand, never brought home another stray. He'd brought home two before the Husky, including my Porter dog. The Husky was the end of his "mi casa es su casa" thought stream, tho!
I currently have a dog who, like your son's girlfriend's dog, is just a pure dumbass. Throw a frisbee and she'll watch it sail over her head. Toss a ball and see it hit her on the nose. She was one year old when we adopted her from the kill-shelter. I don't think she ever learned how to "dog"... and, since she's lived here for 2 years now with 9 cats, I swear the only thing she knows how to do is "Cat"... I'm hoping some trips out to the dog park will allow her to pick up some good "dog responses" to normal events. Lexy is a lover, and you can't help but fall in love with her, but damn... the dog is dumb as a stump. I've just never experienced anything like her before! (LOL)
