When you’ve been gone and come home, does your dog dance around wagging his or her tail? Or, has your dog growled when another dog approached him or her? We interpret these actions as the dog being happy to see us or that they love to see us in the first situation, and that Fido doesn’t like the approaching dog in the second.

Dog management is second nature to Canine Chronicle readers. We live in the mindset of preventing trouble. When was the last time you witnessed a dog fight at a show? It rarely happens. When was the last time you saw something like that go down on the street, the dog park, the vet, the groomer, or anywhere multiple dogs congregate? Everyone doesn’t operate on our wavelength. They fail to recognize dodgy situations before they go crosswise. Unfortunately, plenty of us have been caught in that crossfire.

The Barbado da Terceira (BDT), a cute, shaggy, medium-sized herding dog, originates from Terceira, one of Portugal’s Azore Islands in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. For over 500 years, this hardy breed has worked alongside farmers, facing the island’s most formidable bulls and livestock. While clearly thriving on the farm, the Barbado da Terceira’s story extends far beyond herding.
With no small amount of trepidation, I’ve made a decision: I will be breeding my first litter in nearly 30 years.
There’s not one of us who hasn’t stared into their dog’s eyes and wondered, “What the heck are you thinking?” Or if you’re like me, it’s more like, “What is wrong with your brain?”
