I thought that they were pretty much the most commonly found breed in the western world, and I know from this and other lists that there are plenty of them, and that they are a breed that is very much loved by American people. I notice no weims either (getting all excited as our little girl should be coming home in 5 weeks time and the big shop has begun!)

I got some new piccies of our girl this morning, @ 13 days old... check out Cindy at 13 days ~ so 'snuffilicious'! ~ and huge (6 months discussion) agreements with her breeder means we got to keep the tail too!

"Leah" -OFF wrote in message ... However, I've only had three pit bulls in classes, as opposed to 13 labs. That's pretty sad. unfortunately, many of the people with pit bulls don't think they need socialization or group training. hell, a lot of the pits i've met have had no training whatsoever. it is sad. how are you supposed to be a breed ambassador with an untrained dog? -- -kelly 00 Aprilia Pegaso 01 Aprilia Falco 77 Mercedes Benz 280SE Lola- CBEAPBT |

No German Shepherds??? That doesn't suprise me at all. I almost never get a GSD enrolled in the classes I teach through local parks departments, but my other group classes are full of them. As are classes at local dog training clubs and with other training schools. I believe that's because people who are drawn to GSDs expect to make a long term committment to training and research trainers at the same time they are selecting their dog. The students who enroll at Leah's PetSmart classes are probably much like those in my parks dept. classes - looking for convenience in a training venue and committed only to 1 or 2 8 week sessions.

"Chris Jung" wrote in message ... There are some dogs in the classes I don't think I can count because I had trouble with their owners. They were the cases where they could not or would not follow instruction and strongly resisted help. Included are the know-it-alls and the ones who were sure their dogs were doing bad things out of spite no matter what I said differently. Very frustrating. One guy (as we learned from his wife) was a long time alcoholic and frankly his mind was pickled. He couldn't follow any instruction or grasp the simplest concept. Fortunately his dog had a wonderful temperament and was tolerating his owners confused handling more or less well. i'd be more interested to know what kind of dogs the "bad" owners had. :-) -kelly |

Unless you work on the dog by yourself for a
sustained time IMHO you didn't train it. Teaching the handler and even demo-ing with their dog doesn't count. 8 years of working with and seeing certain breeds, I can honestly say that if I were to own any of them, I would be fully aware of what their general traits are and how to handle training. Thats just working with. If you add in reading everything you can about every breed (which I do for fun) adds a bit more knowledge of what to look for and what you may expect. However, LIVING with a particular breed IMO is quite different Although I can say that from what I've seen from certain breeds is enough to make me realize that they would not be compatible with my lifestyle.

Dogstar716 Come see Gunnars Life: http://hometown.aol.com/dogstar716/index.html Indeed there are definitely breeds that would not be compatible with my lifestyle. Sibes come to mind. I love the looks of them and the personality of them. But the fact that they are escape artist and can not be trusted *well* off leash is not what I like in a dog. One reason I really prefer herding breeds is they tend to stick close to their "flock"/pack. Gwen |
