Sheltie and Cavalier. The Sheltie grew up to have a very typical personality, in the best sense of the word. Reserved and very much a one woman dog. Lively and intelligent, and completely focused. But without being at all skittish or overtly anxious. She doesn't even bark that much, and I've never had a sheepdog who didn't bark a lot before. The Cavalier is soooo laid back. Nothing at all upsets her. I keep thinking I ought to train her to be a therapy dog.
But watching them when the sheltie was a pup was like seeing all that attachment and emotional regulation theory in practice.
Calm and accepting is good. :)
