Hello,
We are new to the group and hoping to get some guidance from Frenchie experts. We have a Frenchie that just turned four who we got through an informal rescue 3 years ago. She was with a family through a mutual friend in a Pitbull breeder home. She was a little underweight and had dry skin, but we've had zero health issues with her since.
for first 1.5 years we had no aggression issues, but she got bit in the year at a boarding facility and we noticed a change in behavior after. The, separation anxiety increased with us working from home. She's pretty chill but any sudden movements when she's resting makes her on edge, she hates feet, and she has some resource guarding issues that have gotten way better. Also, she doesn't like when people pet her for long periods of time
We brought her to a 3 week boot camp that helped tremendously. She's played with many family and friend's dogs in the past and has been fine for the most part, and we think the issue is with people.
We found a family who wants to surrender their Frenchie because they are back to work, their kid is at school and they are gone 14 hours a day working in the medical field. We want to at least give it a try as we have always wanted two.
We see a risk with previous aggression, but we also see a benefit in Rizzie having a friend. Has anyone had a similar scenario or does anyone have any advice?
Thanks!
