Frieda is a working dog, through and through, Rottweiler’s and Shepherds are both herding and working and guard dogs, and Frieda is always looking out for Maria. On sunny days, she loves to sit in front of Maria’s Schoolhouse Studio with both legs crossed, guarding the studio and her much loved human. Frieda stays close to the studio unless a loud truck comes down the road and then she charges out and successfully drives it off. No truck has yet made it to the Studio Barn and Frieda is convinced this is due to her ferocious guarding. I always praise her when she runs a truck off, it makes her happy, keeps her focused.
