  1. quote from Nekhbet

    And no, I would never purchase a primarily show line dog with the hope it would be a worker. You want a worker you buy from proven workers not just because it is a gsd, rottie, dobe etc. Many members of working breeds cannot step up to the plate anymore and that's a fact. If you want a dog that will DEFINATELY protect you in any situation you buy a trained dog or one of the more primitive/LGD breeds still from proven workers (But as lilli said dont expect to have control like you would the more traditional guarding breeds). The logic is not that hard to grasp.

    Exactly!!!!! Tony

  2. The average pet owner would learn alot from this type of session.The awareness and knowledge the pet owner gained would not only give them a great insight into this aspect of the dog world, but also enrich the relationship between pet owner and pet.

    Jeff is doing this to raise awareness and educate, not for any form of amusement.

    Jeff has the experience to know how far he could go with each individual dog, before bringing on so called stress.

  3. Brooke,I have to agree with Rex"s post on the first page. People especially nowdays can fall into the trap of assuming that because their dog is a certain breed, it will automatically defend or project.

    There are many weak nerved dogs around nowdays. I very much doubt this dog has the goods to be trained to protect. I have to second the thought of seeking out working lines. Tony

  4. I posted in here, as I will get alot more honesty,rationalty,commonsense and awareness than other sections.

    I have watched the doco, about Pedigree dogs twice. I remember years ago,the grandfathers,drovers,stockmen,cattlemen and many others all taking note of those breedings dogs soley based on looks. The common agreement amongst many was, what a mess and wreck was going to be the end result.

    Before I go any further,we have both purebred and some crossbred dogs so i have no axe to grind.

    I have to agree with much of the doco and contrary to the denial in another section, I found the doco to be fairly well balanced.

    I found it a disgrace after seeing some of those pan lickers that won or placed at crufts.

    i found it quite disturbing that a dog judge at Crufts was saying that dogs which were obvisouly very weak structure wise, more ideally repersented the breed standard.

  5. Bella, its not a major issue that he is not desexed.Desexing will not magically cure all the other behaviours!!!!!

    I would consult a good trainer to have a look at the dog.

    A good trainer can certainly cut to the chase and problems can be dealt with effectively.

    Keep in mind as well that what you think is the case with this dog may not be so. Tony
