Ahhh go ahead...get another dog. I find the whole marriage thing to be seriously over-rated anyway.LOL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
L Swanston, if you are up to the challange, a wife can be worn down into accepting a new dog in the house. The cost maybe more then the dog!
Concessions/concessions/concessions.........
Yes, you do have to be in control at all times. Then again I stay in control.(except when my wife decides too) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> :rolleyes:
My only reason for a new pup is the condition of my older GSD, It will take 3 to 4 yrs at best to make a workingdog out of this pup. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, but what about a husband? Mine already gives me grief for feeding the dogs better than I feed him! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
L Swanston - try my method- get a dog of similar markings or colour and pick a time when the significant other is not there and just kind of blend them into the kennel. Some day you will have to ask the other to feed the dogs when you are gone and if he notices and says "who is that dog in the end kennel?" you can say "oh that is so and so - I've had him for ages" sometimes they won't even notice if they don't count noses! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
I too am trying to talk my husband into a GSD pup. It's a hard job getting through that thick head of his. I'm not too serious about getting a pup yet as we have 3year old twins and quite a few bills piled up. Until we're ready I'll just keep boring him with my fantasies of a perfectly trained GSD, buying videos and books, and doing research on the internet and filling his computer with a shitload of dog related links that he gets to wade through to get to his favorites. Until then i'm stuck with the 13year old Lhasa apso that he gave to me. That's a start , right? haha
see, we're in a different boat altogether. My wife and I both love dogs, our children love dogs, and we have to use an unusual amount of self control to stop ourselves from getting more. As it is, I've got a deposit on another male, decided to keep the one I've got, and we're looking at another bitch. Keep in mind, we've got 3 working line GSDs, 1 Lab/GSD mix (my boy's dog), and 1 Aussie Shepherd (my girl's dog) already. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
