What would you do? - Page 9

Oh.....I don't know how I missed it, but guess what I just spotted on your admonishment post to me?             

quote...."the USA is an awfully big place and there are hundreds maybe thousands of dog breeders and tons of GSD kennels."  Innocent line-----maybe, but.....one (meaning me) could possibly look at that remark as stirring a spoon.  Some of us over here...(or maybe, just little ole me) might wonder.....is this a dig?  Nah....you wouldn't make a dig at the good ole USA......would you, Hundmutter?

Never mind.  Just flexing those newly acquired stirring-the-spoon muscles.....and returning the favor you so graciously extended to me.

BTW.  In your quote I didn't know how to put a line through "hundreds".  Sure wish I could have though.  The addition of those lines sure makes that line heavier.

 

You feeling ok, LMH? 

This thread kind of went from the sublime to the ridiculous after your arrival. 

I have no idea who bred Melissa's dog; what does it matter anyway?

Boomer, had we known about you when that we had that aggressive puppy, we'd have been more than happy to let you have the little beggar so you could train it the right way. The breeder agrees; giving it to you would have prevented both her and her child from being scarred for life and needing mulltiple surgeries. She did say if she ever breeds another like that you can have the dog free but you'll have to drive to Utah to pick it up so she can meet you and ask you to sign a hold harmless. 

Not going to step into this discussion, but the behavior of this pup sounds like the behavior I´m looking for whenever I am looking for a new pup
Self confident, and not interested in making friends with strangers... my kind of dog.

A lot of people don´t like them, and most often they are not the best choice for a household with several dogs, bonding may become difficult, but once they are bonded...

Susie, I agree 110%! I tried to say that a few times in this thread, how very worth it those pups are when you EARN their respect and bond. Nothing better. Once you've had one no other can ever compare. 

But, they're certainly not for everyone and certainly not for someone who has competition goals with a young handler. 

What' s THIS, LMH ?   I think its known as a distraction technique, to throw back

something said to you as a way of avoiding admitting you wrote something silly. LOL

 

What grounds do you have for ASSuming that I didn't wonder about or care what

the breeder's feelings are ?

Thought you could "let it go" - your two-post response to me indicates otherwise !

 

BTW the crossing out of words is easy, use the 'dashboard' above to do it:

like you would put something in Bold  or  Italic, highlight the word or sentence

you want to cross through, then click on the crossed-through S that looks like a $

sign gone wrong, in that same box.

Hundmutter....

My "let it go" remark was for Hexe....your interpretation then becomes null. Whether or not I was or wasn't clear, my apologies for the confusion.

and....I dont do "silly."

I also don't do rude, so feel obliged to answer your question, "What grounds do you have for ASSuming that I didn't wonder about or care what the breeder's feelings are?"  Answer---Oh, I don't know.  Perhaps this remark? "I also think that many of us might have been able to work it out BUT CHOSE NOT TO DO SO, AS THAT WASN"T THE ISSUE."  Your question probably stems from my line "SO YOU KNEW and thought nothing about the breeder's feelings."  FACETIOUS, Hundmutter.  As I said, just a cheap dig showing what stirring the spoon would really look like.  Now....should I remark on that word ASSuming?  Kind of......what's that word again.....?

Rudeness isn't my style.  Therefore, I do thank you for pointing out the dashboard.

This will be my last post on the subject.  If there is anything in life that I have learned people will think what they want. It's getting old now,.......so again I will say Good Day.

This is the puppy in question. The video with my daughter in the rain coat was once we returned from the airport on pick up. She was put right down and made a mad dash around the yard. The second video was a day or two later. She has already been rehomed. Very nice dog. Loves being with her people and had a great bite. She was one of the pups who would grab my leg and not let go.

Yeah, pretty much as supposed...that pup thinks YOU are her handler. And she's not gonna work right out of the box for just anyone. 

For the record, I don't think you needed to post this. I don't think ANYone thought badly of you just because Melba wasn't having the same experience with her that you did.
