Possessive behavior

[Officially Retired]

Never knew Red Sonja or experienced her, but there are lot of places where she would have been no more. Zero tolerance. I was there for a time, a number of years ago.

That is because too many people in dogs basically don't know shit about dogs, basically understand nothing about dogs.

The Old Man I knew was the opposite: he wouldn't trust any dog that was "too friendly" ... or would NOT get into that "Zone" ... where they were almost insanely high/drunk with intensity

And I totally understand his point. We expect these dogs to be 100% dead game, to have a level of intensity and focus that cannot be discouraged ... not by fatigue, not by punishment, not by domination, etc. ... and yet these guys (mostly green/mostly stupid) expect them to be completely gentle lambs "with people" no matter what. It's really kind of retarded

The more experience people get, the more they realize MOST dog bite incidents involve owner stupidity, of having NO CLUE about how geeked-up these dogs can get (like they're supposed to) as opposed to being truly mean dogs.

I am all for putting down a truly man-aggressive dog ... but there is simply a difference between a geeked-up, game (but otherwise sweet) bulldog that's "in The Zone" ... and a truly malicious, dangerous dog ... and a dogman knows the difference ... whereas a novice does not

We were rolling dogs one day and in the break, once my dog was clear I pulled him back. The other guy pulled back and his free hand got near my dog's mouth and he got hung. Of course that automatically dubbed him a man-biter. I told him the dog was not the problem, he basically stuck his freakin' hand in the dog's mouth.

It's funny because as friends it has been a funny story for a long time. He called my dog a man-biting piece of cur shit out of anger. I called him a dumbass. That was years ago. Even today when it comes up I tell him that dog went on to win two, and a GIS,

, and never bit another soul. The dog proved he was not a man-biting piece of cur shit. I tell my buddy since then you have failed to prove you were not/are not a dumbass.

Lol, yep.

People who don't "get" these dogs in the most basic of ways, typically have zilch for a record to confirm their lack of understanding in other ways ...
