Come on now.... Just because I don't want to have 6' chain link fence around my yard must mean I don't want the dog.... Yeah, okay... if a 5' fence isn't enough then this dog really isn't something I want. I also don't like "I think" I would like to hear "I know" rotties can jump over 4' fences but not 5'.

I am not the kind of person that is going to let the dog run my life. Like if a hurricane category 5 is coming and I have to go to a shelter without the dog, sorry dog. Of course I would be gone with the dog way before the need for a shelter. There is a limit to when you are in to your animal a bit too much. I am very willing to work with the dog and it will see lots of love from the family. No I won’t spend every free second throwing the stick with the dog. See the dominance thread and think about when your pet demands attention.

The reason I took the dog besides it’s value was to protect my property and family. When I was a teenager my buddy had a doberman pinscher. They put it on a chain in front of their house. The dog would rip your face off if you came close to her and she would let you know. He would bring the dog in house and it would lick you in the face and have nothing but love for you or anyone around. She didn’t like when my buddy and I would horse play. She would start to yelp. I’d like to see something like that. Two jobs for the dog.

Remember if I didn’t want to work with the dog I wouldn’t be asking questions.
