Today I tested Doll and Prion with the bicycle-- they galloped along like champs with no attempt to herd me, although Prion chased Doll a few times too close to my front tire. With a little practice, they will make GREAT mountain biking companions as well as running buddies. I worked with both girls on sit, stay, down, and come commands and they were excellent. Very bright, very obedient, and eager to please. They have completely come out of their shells and are confidently using the doggy door and choosing to be wherever the girls and I are playing. Also, they both seem to like men and will visit my husband for ear scritches.
I was impressed today with how well they responded to loud, running, young children. Neither one was bothered or initiated any herding behavior, although this was indoor play only. On a nicer day, we'll try some supervised outdoor time with children.
