If you had a Magic Wand.... - Page 27

How about a list of breeders who are watering down the working ability of the GSD because they can't get pet buyers?

I don't think it exists.

Ok, Jen, I ordered the hooked on phonics, but it doesn't arrive for a while. So was that stud titled?

Should've ordered it via Amazon Prime, Chaz. Could've had it Tuesday.

"A recent stud I used was partly chosen because among his siblings, there was versatility. They were/are good at several things. His brother was a national level agility dog while he's IPO3, FH1."

While there does seem to be a comma missing in that last sentence, my reading comprehension skills inform me that the dog that was chosen as a stud dog is an IPO3, FH1, and has a brother who was a national level agility dog. Thus, yes, I understand the sentence to be indicative that the stud dog IS titled. 

I was gonna tell him, hexe...really, I was. I was just starting to have a good time, though, after he'd been on my case. The thing is, nit-picking my breedings isn't really what this thread was about. A missing comma is the culprit, to be sure, but I think someone has to be reaching pretty far (or just looking for things to pounce on) to deduce an untitled sire from that typo, and try to derail a thread to make issue of it. So, I didn't especially care to give that too much serious attention. The thread isn't about studs I've used.

Hooked on Phonics apparently didn't teach me to proofread and double-check my commas.

;)

my bad.  Didn't check who was logged in. =o

merely asking a question after reading a poorly written post is bashing? I just wanted to clarify if you chose a stud based on his titled brother. Geesh!!! I haven't bashed any of your dogs or you. Asking a question isn't bashing, or pouncing on anything. Carry on.

Can you guys keep your personal crap to PM's please, I am sick cleaning it up..my shovel is just not big enough. I've asked this many times..can we please have one thread that doesn't get personal by the same members all the time? Thanks

I think the Magic Wand biz is highly over rated.

@Beetree
There are definitely some GSDs that CANNOT be handled by the " casual end user " who have no clue as to how some dogs are capable of behaving . There are dogs which come with high drive, no off switch, dominance, resource aggression and hardness all in one package. I know of an experienced handler who is currently trying to get rid ( sell ) of a 4yr old male Mali ( only about 50 lbs ) ( aggressive / hard ) with multiple bite histories. That dog certainly cannot go to a pet home.
