Return that dog. - Page 11

Blitzen, lmao at 55. 

Hired Dog, I see both sides. There is blindness in both types of homes. There is a happy medium, I think, when you read a dog properly and can assess ALL it's needs and meet them. It's not a perfect world, however. 

See this book review

In What’s a Dog For?, Homans explores the dog’s complex and prominent place in our world and how it came to be. Evolving from wild animals to working animals to nearly human members of our social fabric, dogs are now the subject of serious scientific studies concerning pet ownership, evolutionary theory, and even cognitive science. From new insights into what makes dogs so appealing to humans to the health benefits associated with owning a dog, Homans investigates why the human-canine relationship has evolved so rapidly—how dogs moved into our families, our homes, and sometimes even our beds in the span of a generation, becoming a $53 billion industry in the United States in the process.

As dogs take their place as coddled family members and their numbers balloon to more than seventy-seven million in the United States alone, it’s no surprise that canine culture at large is also undergoing a massive transformation. They are now subject to many of the same questions of rights and ethics as people, and the politics of dogs are more tumultuous and public than ever— with fierce moral battles raging over kill shelters, puppy mills, and breed standards. Incorporating interviews and research from scientists, activists, breeders, and trainers, What’s a Dog For? investigates how dogs have reached this exalted status and why they hold such fascination for us. With one paw in the animal world and one paw in the human world, it turns out they have much to teach us about love, death, and morality—and ultimately, in their closeness and difference, about what it means to be human.

Hired Dog, good post. 
Good article too Guddu, I agree wholeheartedly.

It seems to me many are back peddling on their stances and we go on in pages.

Hired Dog I agree somewhat.
A person purchasing a working dog needs to fulfill that dogs genetic need to work,  Good breeders are very selective about the homes which they will sell their pups, even choosing specific pups for each litter.

jenni... your a breeder o working line dogs and DO NOT WORK dogs in any venue and im the troll? lmaooo.

you respond to a post that is a bout a quote i made and i brought you into this? wtf.... lmao. this place is too funny. :)

There is no difference between moving "unwanted" dogs onto other people or returning them to the breeder. People can look at it whichever way they want, the dog is gone, placed not kept by the original buyer. As long as the dog is OK,  I could care less if it fits someone's idea of the original buyer. Shit happens, life happens, dogs don;t cut it.......
Coming to this board and writing bunch of nonsense, claiming superiority of ones clients over other.. that is just pathetic.... we all moved dogs, people who are in a dog business do that. Claiming that the opposite is the truth is a lie!

Bottom line, yes, people like to tweak, turn and fit their own perception of acceptable to their own needs.... what a bunch of BS!

Do right by the dog, who gives a shit what the reasons are for not keeping the dog. All I say, the rest is just long essays and bunch of crap.
