  1. We kept male and female littermates 10 yrs ago, totally different temperaments. They have both lived in the same house with us (and their mother) all of that time. The dog is so outgoing, works with me in the Responsible Pet Education program visiting schools and is a certified Pets as Therapy dog. The bitch likes our family and some friends, but she is very unhappy with strangers, to the point of urinating and cringing. How do you explain this, nature or nurture? Both were shown in the conformation ring and titled easily, neither have been bred from. Both parents have exceptionally good temperaments.

  2. All depends on circumstances of the individual incident.

    A few years ago, we had a dog in our street that was always running out on the road, chasing people, owner had no control of the dog (only a small x-breed). It chased me once when I was riding my bicycle, I had words with the owner and was assured it would be kept under control. A few weeks later the dog chased and bit me on the leg. I ended up with having weeks of work due to the injury. This dog lived around the corner from a busy school, it could have attacked a child. I wish that I had reported the first incident.

  3. We have a 12 month old group 6 neuter. He is entered on 2 June @ Bulla and 29 June @ Wangaratta and we had decided these would be his last shows as there is never any competition. I'll see if the owner will reconsider and enter him on July 13.

    Group 6 has been well supported in the past with Dobes, Rotties and Bernese Mountain dogs.
