Yes doesn't it suck to hear people brag about "I only paid $150.00 for this dog, and she's purebred. I'm onna breed her and make my money back." Buncha D&*KS!
I did not see that quote anywhere in the thread?
But I did see a number of ignorant people looking to make themselves feel better about killing a working dog, by laying the consequences of their own ignorant actions on everyone but themselves.
Well, that's 2 minutes of my life that I'll never get back. :rolleyes:
The sickening part is that the poster seems to have learned nothing from the experience. She is completely unwilling to take responsibility for her own behavior.
What is to stop this woman from killing the next pup that challenges her for a higher place in the pack? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
I am not saying that i would of done the same thing but really i dont think she should of waited for a attack on her or her family or a stanger..She didnt breed the dog!!!
I think it is a sad, but you got to protect your family and other people(esp children) over a dog anytime in my mind.
Did she do the right thing...I dont know...I didnt see or interact with the dog..and if anyone has ever had to put a dog down it is a very tough thing to do at any age.
I am sure she has learn something from her situation and to say she didnt i would think you would have to know the lady personally..
People should be higher in the pack than a dog?? yes or no...i vote yes
People are only being kind to give their sympathy when a family member is down and out??
plenty of blame to go around, they just don't seem to accept their part and seek to lay it ALL on someone else. They don't seem to have learned from the expereince, but instead use it to reinforce their own ignorance. I feel sorry for the guy who sold them the dog, they buyer probably learned just enough to talk the talk, but not enough to walk the walk, hence 'a little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing'. Unfortunately these kinds of people can be hard to weed out, and when they mess up a pup they blame everyone but themselves. To coverup their own guilt and incompetence they go after the seller with a passion.
It's a shame that the two people who tried to point out actual breed characteristics that contributed to this were immediately denounced.
Since their apparent reason for getting a big working dog was to protect their little dogs I am guessing that the Great Pyrannees was trying to take over the alpha role. They wouldn't support that and that would obviously cause problems. Of course I'm only guessing, but I think many people have a hard time letting the new dog be the top dog.

Do the math...
Well-meaning but TOTALLY uninformed woman not willing to recognize the flaws in her arguments (arguements?)
+
very large breed of dog bred to protect livestock from other canids
+
two small canids
=
disaster waiting to happen.
This poor thickheaded woman needs to stick to her foo foo dogs and leave the working breeds to those who know them better. The problem is, you KNOW she won't.
