Well two actually

First is that electric fencing hurts.

Second is that trying to get close to mum when shes leading a horse then snapping at horse for scaring you gets you a kick from mum! She was lucky she got out of my way as im ashamed to admit i meant that kick rather than my normal 'touch'. Just on my way to get suspected dislocated finger joint looked at :(
 
Poor you and sympathies to Quila, Corgis are a heeling breed so was only trying to be helpful:rolleyes:. My Lancashire Heelers in the past always came out when I did the horses but knew better than to get too close. They both worked cattle so had to be careful.
 
It was a fear aggression response I think rather than trying to help (she has in the past tried to herd joggers when I'm not paying attention) :o She was trying to get close to be and Saffy walked towards me then she snapped at her.

She'll be going down a lot more and getting lots of socialization.
 
Oh I see, thats why I never walked the Dobes through the horses field because they got protective and one of the horses didnt like big dogs and would chase them.

Have they splinted your finger or just bandaged it.
 
Ouch! One of our visitors broke his finger walking Bella, he had the lead wrapped around his hand, doh, and she lunged at something interesting on the ground. Easily done, hope it's not too painful!
 
It's wrapped to my middle finger but no splint. She came to the horses today and was much better. Won't be allowed near them loose ever but no snapping/grumbling when the horses tried to sniff her. Fingers would be far less painful if I'd stop banging them :o
 
I have a low electric fence running around the chicken pens and all the dogs have touched it at one point or another! The funniest was a JRT who, on getting stung, turned around and bit the wire!
