is this good or bad - Page 10

SpeakNow/DoRight/MaxVonP:

It's a joke allright, but the jokes on you, and make no mistake, everyone is laughing at you not with you, you ignorant ass.  As to my untitled, non-hip rated dog, he's just 2 years old, x-rays have been submitted to both OFA & Gemany "a" stamp program & we are working on his titles.  If you were the "Breeder of World Class German Shepherds" as you claim, or if you knew anything about protection training in general, you would understand he is still very young - BUT YOU DON'T BECAUSE YOU ARE NOTHING BUT A PERVERT LYING LOSER.

Everyone, including myself is more than willing to give you 2, 3, 4 chances to stop your bullshit, grow up, & act like an adult.  But you don't , you must have a screw loose or something, you keep opening yourself up for this.  We all want to know, are you really such a glutton for punishment or just a sad little massochist screaming "please mommy, may I have another" over & over.

Get a grip, and stop this  foolish behavior.  Stop trying to reinvent yourself, you aren't smart enough to do the job without being painfully transparent. 

Oh I fogot, you test your dogs by throwing sticks for them.  Grrrrrrrrrreat, just what the world needs, more world class shitters.

Can I ask you how crazy are you for allowing your boyfriend to set your dog up for failure..........what ever happen to common sense.  It will be your beautiful dog we see at the Humane Soc. ready to be put down.  Think about it.  GSD's are smart and are to be respected.  How did you even get one??????????????????  And word of advise - give your boyfriend the gate.

I have posted on this Board, about a dog I grew up with that would attack if you went thru a door unanounced. this Dog was a "Personal Protection" dog. Our dog was trained this way, he had very specific commands and was trained to react in a given situatuion. . I can tell you first hand, if your dog is reacting this way you need to change the behaviour of the dog, or someone will get hurt, Our dog was not a pet and COULD NOT be treated as such, he lived in our home and was pretty much on sentry duty. I find it very hard to believe this dog was trained,  a kick from someone?, Our dog would have killed the kicker.

I agree with Hodie. He barks at someone coming back in then lets in 2 drunks with only a woof, woof.  Learning over the years to trust my dog's opinion, maybe he just does not like the boyfriend's friend? In either case he needs to take his cues from you. I would take Hodies suggestion for both you and the dog take some training classes. This dog is gettng mixed signals from you, lets in drunks, barks at a friends and a dog that is not 100% clear on his position in the home is an accident waiting to happen. You have a lot of dog bites with "LOVING DOGS" because the owners unwittingly give control to the dog. I know you love your dog so do the right thing and both of you go to training.

Another thought, if the dog has had exposure to training and not fully trained, that is a receipe for disaster, if you do not know how to control the dog. Another reason for you to get help, for you and the saftey of the dog and the children in your home.

Renz and 1doggie2, please read the last post i did, Nenz is DEAD. He died while I was on the phone with the vet. She suggested bloat when I described his laying on his side, eyes staring straight ahead, unresponsive, with his left side so puffed up it looked like a balloon was in there. Reluctantly acknowledging that a male german shepherd really is too much to handle for me personally, our new dog is a standard poodle puppy. I don't anticipate any problems there, did some research on the breed before deciding. I could be wrong, but I don't think poodles are an aggressive breed. The new dog will be my daughter's pet, I don't need another aggressive dog.

Please heed the above advice with your new dog. Whether it's a generally non aggressive breed or not an indivual dog can become aggressive if the owner is not educated on dog behavior and obedience and if the owner does not ensure a safe and secure environment for the dog. Please, please get training along with your daughter for this dog to avoid another problem.  You need an ACTUAL trainer that ACTUALLY knows what they are doing.

Personally, I would keep an eagle eye on the boyfriend and his cronies, as well. If they're rough or abusive with a dog that'll be aggressive back then I can't imagine how they'll be with a dog that won't. Once again, a fear biter in the making if they do.

And, look, I don't mean this in a nasty way but you don't know enough about dogs to breed.  Get the new dog fixed! Now that you see the truth about his behavior go back and look at the way you were so convinced he would be great for breeding. I'm saying this straight forward, not hateful: You don't know enough to breed and your buddy doesn't know enough to train. Both of these things are a disaster waiting to happen for someone at some point.

If you lost Nenz I am sorry for your loss.

I am also sorry for your loss.

allaboutthedawgs, is correct the breed of dog does not matter, the handling of the dog does. There are alot of bites from Goldens, Labs and Poodles.

hmmmm, haven't been here for awhile and didn't read the last parts of this thread until today.  Apparently Susan thinks I am two other posters here, along with the several other posters she has stated I am, in the past.

Sueincc.  Just to help alleviate your fears and hysteria, I am none of these other posters.  I am just DoRight.  I could say it a hundred more times, but I doubt it would change your mind.  You need to recognize that maybe, just maybe, I am not the only one in the world who thinks as I do about you.

Best of luck to you and your dog.

You know, The more I read around here, I am starting to think that allaboutthedawgs actually knows something.  That sucks :)

surprised to see this on page one again, figured there's no reason to bring it back up since he's gone. i did just want to clear up one thing though.

allaboutthedawgs, i thank you for your condolences, (as i do everybody else) but i just wanted to say that i never said anything about breeding nenz, that was not an option, considering his hip problems. i think you may have got this thread confused with a different one, about my female gsd.

anyone who wants to know, our poodle girl is doing great. she is very friendly and greets everybody coming in the house with kisses and a wagging butt since her tail is very short. surprisingly, she is also a better watchdog outside than spunky is. fluffy won't ever be any guard dog. she is meant as a friendly housepet and child's companion. she does however let me know when someone is around and even if spunky doesn't bark, the two of them together are a good deterrent outside. people around here are afraid of any large dog that barks, even a poodle.

fluffy will be spayed; we have no intentions of breeding her.

spunky is doing great. she takes care of fluffy like she was her puppy. her public behavior has been excellent, and people keep asking me how i got my dogs trained so good. we recently volunteered to help fundraise for sass at a local mall, selling community days books for younkers, and i received many compliments from other gsd owners about how well-behaved she was. one lady commented that she liked it that spunky came right up to her when she approached, with no fear, and her tail wagging. i told her, well of course, she thinks everybody is her new best friend. she smiled and said that was good.

i told her i was afraid she was too friendly and she said no, if something happens, even a friendly dog will be protective.

i don't know about that, i am investing in some pepper spray, and just enjoying having my two big, beautiful dogs.
