LOL Dog Beaches are not dog parks LOL If I lived near the ocean, Csabre would be INSISTING that we go there! She does not need other dogs to 'play' with, but jumping into water and swimming is a whole 'nother level!

After having Rocky I wanted a dog with a lower drive this time around...I love my Rocky to bits, but I figured Rocky times two might be a bit much. When we got Lyric it seemed like night and day...I was so used to Rocky that I thought there was something wrong with her! I wanted to take her to the vet because I thought she was sick! She'll chase a ball and bite on my pant legs occasionally but it's sooooo different. After seeing the two together now though, I think I actually DO prefer high drive. Like the OP have said though, it would be very nice to just have that "off" switch. The high drive dogs are just so much fun and HIGHLY trainable.
