Rather than risk going into BSL, I spoke of the importance of pack leadership and training. I made it clear that these dogs are not for people with no experience. I also said that any dog over 5 pounds should have training with a qualified trainer. Apparently she was trying to get some sort of training with these dogs, but it was too late for that. This was an adult dog who was bought for breeding. So there was no neutering here either. Yes, these dogs are gotten for ill intent, to be sure. But not every person who gets one has ill intent. I have dogs of all nature around me, breeds that would make some run in terror. Most are just fine to be around. I remember when Rotties were genuenly dangerous. I remember Chow's being the last choice for a pet. They are much better now. And, with luck, so will these dogs. But for now, no they do not belong in the hands of drug dealers, dog fighters, or idots. sheila Sheila of Miami Mernydex GSD's Loving Obedience Dog Training __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
