Ford VS Lincoln: A Tale of 2 Enemies

The following is a true story. I t is a story of two dogs. One Doberman named Lincoln and a Shepard named Ford.  Both neutered males, both with a hatred for the other. But sometimes, with a little patience and a lot of time and understanding...

Meet Ford:  a young and playful guy, Ford has his friends and can be the life of the party . But when Ford doesn't like someone...Watch out!















And Lincoln:  He is considered a mature male who in his younger years had his fair share of tiffs with some other dogs but has since mellowed out.  

Now Ford and Lincoln have never been buddies. On pack walks they have their share of choice words and snapping,  Through fences and suite doors they will let each other know about their apparent dislike.



Well I am happy to say that today March 8 2013 we finally got the two boys in the same play yard together. The result.... DRUM ROLL PLEASE!!!!!!!!












They completely ignored each other!!! YES!!!!

And that is a huge thing.  You see you should not  expect your dog to love EVERY dog they meet.  It is kind of unreasonable when you think about it.  I mean come on, we as humans don't like every person we meet so why should our dogs. But it is not unreasonable to ask that the dogs be able to exist in the same space, without fighting and reacting.  Today we accomplished just that.  BRAVO FORD AND LINCOLN!!!!
