Thanks for the well wishes, folks.

Understand me - this man is a friend of mine... I brought this to your attention, not to make him out to be the bad guy - he treats his dogs like 90% of the folks I see at dog shows... THIS is the mentality that must be changed. Temperament should be the FIRST consideration, not the LAST when obtaining a pup/dog.

With the advent of the internet, and the plethera of books published regarding dog behavior, training, etc...it's inexcusable these days to stick your head in the sand regarding this topic... that's all.

As my 7th Grade homeroom teacher, Mr. Hendrickson used to tell me...Beauty is only skin deep - ugly goes all the way to the bone.
