Dogs can be the same. They're breed to be vicious anyways some can just go nuts. They have little control over themselves even if you train them. If a dog lives with you just how much training should you be required to keep it from ripping your arm off? I don't blame the guy I blame the dog. Some dogs just suck and the more vicious the dog is breed to be the more likely something like this will happen.Samnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-89273377044673945742014-11-29T07:19:47.284-08:002014-11-29T07:19:47.284-08:00Hey Ferfal,
I agree with your assessment here. An...Hey Ferfal,<br /><br />I agree with your assessment here. An aggressive, unstable animal is not a "guard dog", it is a dangerous liability.<br /><br />I am guessing the owner never protection trained his dog, which involves teaching the dog the most important command: the "out".<br /><br />And I am guessing, too, that like you said, the breeder was focusing on aggression more than stability. A real protection dog should not react until there is a threat, or the command is given.<br /><br />I train dogs here in the U.S., and I can say that I come across a lot of unstable purebred dogs. I love German shepherds (and own one), but many I come across are real nervous liabilities.<br /><br />I would say, people, if you buy a purebred, do your homework and spend the money. Buy from someone who specializes in protection dogs. If you don't want to spend the money, don't buy the dog. Your best bet, then, is to rescue a stable pit bull from a shelter. They seem to be the best "bargain" out there: easily available dogs that tend to have the drives to do protection.C#noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8939666320943790100.post-53466608890195418282014-11-28T08:50:57.042-08:002014-11-28T08:50:57.042-08:00Something is very wrongwith this story.
