John, I think of you often when we

Where are you again?

I just found a woman, not
too far away, who breeds and
rescues. Hear good things about her.

Who?

Btw, we just got in an adolescent
male Pit Bull who had been
abandoned at a vet's office
a little north of here who is
one of the very most splendid
Pit Bulls i've ever met anywhere.
Just today he flummoxed one
of our hotheads, Lexus, by neither
being intimidated by her fence
fighting moves (there's a space
between kennels, so no real
danger anyway) NOR "returning
in kind". Instead, he wagged his
butt and went into play posture.
Lexus sort of grumbled as she
shuffled off to her dog house,
clearly suffering from some
combination of confusion and
disappointment. One of the
moments one wishes one had
on tape.

John, what do you think would be the effect of having this dog wander
about at will?
Last week, while I took ol' Hilde to be seen at an event, my Mac
(always off leash) had to go back and stay in her run. He ignored the
fence-fighters, and they reacted in exactly the same way Lexus did. If
a non-reactive dog were free to visit, do you think it might desensitize
them?
Also, (please doG, don't let me use the word 'jealousy', or I'm in
trouble) do you think the sight of a dog on-leash is more provocative,
because it's a signal that it's going somewhere, and they're not?

Who?
Her name's Leri Hanson ("just call me 'Pitbull Leri'"), and she's near
us in southern California. Drat! She has an interesting website for
her kennel, but I can't find it at the moment.
Something you wrote has influenced my opinion of her. She breeds, but
is to be forgiven because she's very active in breed rescue.
