Otto,

Great to hear from fans of bc dogs. I agree with you about their requirements. It is worth mentioning that my current bitch Bonnie was rescued after being ignored her first year of life. She has always been a shy dog, but has learned over the years to trust strangers and gets along fine. She has been less trouble than any dog I have ever owned partly because of her shyness. I would not hesitate to adopt a shy dog again.
