Xena is the pup I kept out of the Scout
x Eubanks litter. She is one of those girls that took a long time to
mature and get her head together. Of course, lots of things were happening
as she was growing up that took time away from training. She has always been the perfect pet, so it was easy to keep her
around, and wait to see how she would grow up. She rides well in the car -
with or with out a crate, walks nicely on lead, and has not messed in the house
since she was 5 weeks old. Always wants everyone to be happy. Rides
great in the car or van - doesn't destroy it! But is protective of the car
and property.
She is a great sport dog, very useful for showing the
other dogs how to play the "tug game". Others have remarked on her great bite and love of the
sport. So many Bouviers are very serious about bite work. Xena
thinks it is a great game. She is one I will trust sending on a decoy in a
partial suit (just pants, jacket or sleeve) as I believe she will bite the
equipment, not the man.
She is protective around the home. I think her natural
enthusiasm and size (she is a BIG girl) would scare anyone before it came to
actual protectiveness, but she is very sure of herself.
