No, no....I want some stupid, obscure breed of unknown health and temperament.



Stupid they're not, in fact I've found ours to be much more intelligent than many other breeds, but then that can be a problem. When you give them a command, they don't just say OK they ask "Why?" and you better have a compelling reason "why" grin. But not force or negative BS, they doesn't work well with that.


My communist friend is a dog feind in Denmark.


I bet he has some insight too.


He has had dogs like you describe. Not dogs for "amateurs" he calls them.




Yeah, not a dog for first time dog owners, and yet that's exactly what we started with.
But we made it work because we committed ourselves to the fact that the dog was now a family member, not a working tool.




Thats what gets me.

These working dogs get bought and the expectations are not met.

Lot of work goes into a proper dog, especially working dogs.

They either end up drawing flies on a neighbors property or at the rescue shelter.

I am MAGA.
