    That's west island which is fast becoming a police state.

    The long list of dogs I've shot is headed mainly by purebreds that have been poorly trained, the people give up and do a handoff of the problem. The reason for most of the owners problems is they can't handle the drive of these purebred dogs. A mate has plenty of them in his rabbiting kennels as well. Visla's, GWP's and a few others. All good dogs (they wouldn't be there if they weren't) He to has a gully full of almost rans. I spend X amount of time seeing if it can be rectified then shoot it.
    Most of them could be if you had a spare year. Maybe. If your lucky.
    Take on breeds like this and you'd better have the fucking time to put into them. And that is what shits me the most. Don't blame the dogs....

    So you get something without as much drive/easier trained and learn from there. Not saying in a couple of years you shouldn't get one of these, but learn how to train first.
    EeeBees and mucko like this.
