[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We breed and train German Shepherd Dogs. I am a very small breeder. Only one litter a year and our mamas are only allowed two litters. They are our family pets first. We breed specifically for health and temperament. Our dogs are calm, balanced, sweet pups because the dogs in their line going back many generations were intentionally and carefully selected. They would make terrible police dogs. They simply don’t have aggression and prey drive bred into them. That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t bite. All dogs have that potential. But our dogs’ temperaments, health, size, etc. are the results of careful breeding. “Pit Bull” type dogs were intentionally bred for aggression, pain tolerance, strength, and prey drive. That doesn’t just magically disappear. They are not safe. It should be illegal to breed these dogs. We need to allow the breed to naturally cease to exist. Not the dogs’ fault. Humans phucked it up, as usual. I would not allow my kids in their home or yard, even with you present. I would ensure there is no way the dog can get into your backyard even if that means building your own 8 foot privacy fence. I would explain to my kids that while most dogs are friendly, this one is dangerous. And I would absolutely end the friendship with the parents. [/quote] Uh, you're a breeder of German Shepherd's, yet you don't think YOUR dogs were born with a prey drive?? That must be why they're the predominant breed used for personal protection, security, military & police work, because they DON'T love to chase down a suspect. 🤔 My dog is the greatest dog, he's super laid back, affectionate, has the greatest temperament, loves children, adults, other dogs and even cats. He patiently allowed little hands & fingers to climb all over him and drool on him when my kids & nephews & nieces were small. He's friendly and patient with everyone... everyone, accept that is; squirrels, foxes (because foxes attempt to hunt the bunnies that live in our yard, and our GSD protects them) oh, and one last foe... The mail man. Our GSD has a bed in our bay window, and hese likes to sun himself in that window; but when he sees a squirrel, he goes completely nutso. He's so hyper focused on that squirrel and I know that if I allowed him outside in that moment, he'd tear that thing to shreds if he could catch it. How can you claim that YOUR dogs don't have a high (or any) prey drive whatsoever, but then say that "a pit bulls same predisposed drive doesn’t just magically disappear"? Did you know that German Shepherd's were intentionally bred as herding dogs for hundreds of years? Herding dogs were NOT family pets, they were trained to help herd cattle, but their primary role was to guard and protect livestock... to guard and protect. A breed of dog cannot successfully guard and protect WITHOUT a high prey drive. Yet somehow, you're making the ridiculous assertion that, pit bulls were intentionally bred for strength and a high prey drive (that "doesn’t just magically disappear") so pit bulls must be doomed forever... but German Shepherds were ALSO intentionally bred for strength and a high prey drive for hundreds of years, so much so that they are STILL, in the year 2021, the number one breed of dog used for personal protection, security, military & police work... yet, you said that YOUR dogs would make terrible police dogs, because you've somehow manged to be the only breeder in history to completely remove a specific breed of dog's inherent hyper prey drive and strong protective personality trait? YOU'VE somehow been able to unlock & change the DNA of a breed, whose core nucleus, disposition & drive has always been for THOUSANDS of years, to fend off predators, hunt for prey, the securing, patrolling & protection of cattle, livestock, prisoners AND prey, yet you were able to remove their inherent predisposed hard wiring in just a few generations of "careful breeding"? 🤨 I guess your German Shepherds would just keep on sleeping if someone broke into their owners home, because your dogs are so "calm, balanced & lacking in aggression". I hope you put it your contracts that the dogs YOU sell, shouldn't come with an expectation of instinctively knowing how to protect their family, because you've totally removed that from their DNA. Pit bulls owners could never do the same exact thing, because only you can accomplish this, lol. I don't particularly love pit bulls, but your kinda sanctimonious & hypocritical bullsh!t just irks me even more. Quite the delusional, god complex you got there. 🤣 [/quote]
