I can relate to that. My daughter wanted a dog of her own and cam home with a Springer Spaniel. This dog would not listen, when she was called she ran circles around me. She could not even be caught while racing around. And a mouth! I had people come to my house at 6:00 in the morning telling me to shut up this dog, and she was still in the house !! Finally told my daughter either this dog leaves or I will. Found a home for her quickly. There is just nothing like a GS.

With me they are very tried brats :0) The 8 year old Sunny was on my leather chair yesterday and when I pointed at her and told her OFF she gave me a full set of growling teeth!!! I said OFF again same result. So I walked behind the chair pick it up so she hit the floor. Dam I was mad, I would hate to try to lift that big over stuff chair this morning :0) So far she has decided that I am Big Foot's bitch and she is doing what she is told :0) You should have seen Margo my 10.5 year old GSD female. When I gave the Off command and Sunny challenged me, Margo went under the dinning room table. She had that look on her face that said This is going to get ugly :0) Long story short. I will never have any other breed, just because a dog is small doesn't make him any easier to deal with. I doubt that I could train a small breed although chair throwing worked well with the Springer :0) Terry ________________________________ From: Sally Hayden <dan-ann@xxxxxxxx> To: "tashina1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <tashina1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Cc: "<BAERENTATZE312@xxxxxxx>" <BAERENTATZE312@xxxxxxx>; "<Stormy435@xxxxxxx>" <Stormy435@xxxxxxx>; "<showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>" <showgsd-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sat, June 26, 2010 4:54:42 AM Subject: [ SHOWGSD-L ] Re: After GSDs There will never be an "after" shepherds for me I will always have one by my side but there is an after showing.
