Euthanasia is the last resort when all else fails, not the first port of call for a behavioural problem. I am shocked at how quickly some people suggest euthanasia as a solution to a problem without at least exploring other avenues..
I wouldn't worry about damp's comment Anne. This is the same dip***t that said his dogs weren't pets, just dogs, in the other thread where someone was merely asking if they've ever seen a dog born without a tail. Damp seemed to think it was completely absurd for someone to love and cherish their pet if they weren't perfect show quality.
