Guest Anonymous Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 I do appreciate those people who are actually concerned. I couldn't ask for more from strangers. As far as the dog park is concerned, my Brother always goes with me there and watches one of the dogs while I watch the other. My dogs just play and shy away from agressive dogs if any happen to be there. Like I said I know what could happen. I don't need nor require continued lectrure on pit control. Everyone on here knows I know about the dangers. So stop already with the lectures. It is my choice to rear my Boys the way I want to. I choose to socialize them the way I feel best and that's that. I will continue going to the park because it is good for them to know other people and other dogs. This is my opinion and most of you differ for various reasons. So we agree to disagree. Quote
courtnek Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 Like Rott, I too am done with this thread. Hollywood, we were only trying to warn you for your and your dogs own good. Inherited traits are there, dormant, passive maybe, but there.... [quote]You can't train the urge to retrieve out of a retriever. You can't train the urge to point out of a pointer. [/quote] this is my personal proof. My dog is a Lab/GSP mix - she retrieves constantly, without ever being trained to do so. She points constantly, without ever being trained to do so. Where did she gets these talents? She inherited them, from the breed standards that created the two dogs who created her.... I give up. We tried to help, for your sake. I just hope that your dogs dont "turn on" while you're at the park, and you end up having to put them down. Quote
Malamum Posted August 9, 2003 Posted August 9, 2003 My main query in this whole thread has been why is the dog park so important? I 100% agree that it is beneficial for dogs to get as much socialisation with other dogs throughout their lives as possible. However I believe that for some breeds it is better done in a more controlled environment than the dog park. Quote
