Sindy was more
"doggish" than either the doberman or the poodle. Once when
she was about 13 we were walking all three together and came across a GSD who
was spoiling for a fight. The two bigger dogs hung back, but Sindy darted
underneath their legs and saw the GSD off!! Naomi, who'd had her since she was
a puppy, was heartbroken when we had to have her put down.
