Description of Fenix

What should I say about this little guy from France?

He is a tender sould in a hard shell!

Pieces of his hard shell:

- strong-minded as F***

- fearless

- strong guardian and herding instinct

- a real bullhead

- low tolerance of frustration

- high drive

- greedy

Pieces of his soft core:

- communicative

- clear body language

- high will to please

- easily trained

- can't deal with pressure

- reserved with strangers

- and he has tons of love to give!


Lots of people only know his hard shell-side because they are not ready to deal with him. I have to admit that I was such a person, I was not ready for this unique dog. I had to change my mind to earn this dogs trust. The lucky persons who become more familiar with him get a lovely, cuddly forever-friend! And so we are trying to live for all the special moments we may have together!

 

After the death of Loki, our first Aussie, Fenix got more adult. His stress level is much lower, he's nicer to other dogs and humans. He didn't grieve for Loki, I think he recognized that we need him so much. He's our piece of gold!
Now, with his new friend Jinx, he is a happier dog than with Loki. Jinx is such a funny friend for Fenix, that he HAS TO love him. :D Often it's really hard for him to be the boss, but I guess Jinx doesn't want to fight for this job.
