Ands I told him in a few seconds without command raise your arms up and start scr4eaming at him. He did and the guy almost crapped his pants.

sounds like a good way to get your future earnings docked...

a ppd shouldn't be treated as a dog who does "tricks". the only time you should be "showing off" your dog is when training or the real thing...

I agree with Ed and Cindy here. From the sounds of this post and the other post he uses his dog as a party trick. I would like to know the breeder of this dog.

This post is a perfect example of why I screen the furture owners of my puppies. He does not need to own a dog period!!

I like him and have spent more money and time in him that ANY of my other dogs and so far my trained pit bull far surpasses him

Aaron, I'm sorry but that was the last thing I hoped to hear you say <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Aaron.....do u have the dog for being a dog or is he just the subject of one of ur science projects? I cant seem to work out if ur trying to work WITH the dog or just agrivate it so u get to study its behaviour when u p*** the poor dog off. I'd take the dog back to the breeder and get a few mice instead <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

nah mice smell to bad. ahhah

Actually, to be totally honest we had to do some experiments on a few goats. Maybe not a few, it was more along the lines of 400. But we had our experimental group and the control group and it was neat.

One experiment we did was trying to find something that they could eat beside the normal rations given and available in our ameican markets.

The reason being is that cattle require things such as 12gal/day of water to sustain normal weight production, etc. IN countries such as Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, etc they do not have the forage necessary to sustain a considerable herd of cattle so they resort to using goats. But the problem is they have such high casualty rates during certain times of yr do to drought and thus the various rangeland grasses will not grow properly. Wel, we did an experiment to see if they could sustain off a certain % of chicken poop. Yes, its VERY real. Why? Chicken stoolhas apx the same amounts of nitrogen as certain grasses. Goats have ben nknown to be very liberal in terms of which types of grasses they can live off of as opposed to horses/catle, etc.

Another one we did was in places like Greenland where there is constant snow and very little grass life but plenty of coniferous trees. what we did was derive a certain percentage and figure out which ones had the best averages in which we were needing. Turns out, if added with other minute nutirents you can feed various pines to the goats and thus sustain your herd. Therefore, the people of the land have meat and milk for their families in harsh regions of the north.



I love it, all in all its fun and interesting. I have lots different stories but that could take forever.

I used to breed vareious exotic reptiles and I'll trell you I had my fair share of rats and mice in a rack system and I am taking a break from all of that. Its alot of work, and will get into the herpetological field oncee again in a few yrs. Not now, too busy...

After reading your last post I really feel sorry for your dog. Please do the right thing and find it a new home.

If I bought a dog to protect me and my house while we were sleeping or away and the dog could not be trusted unless it were locked in a crate… what is the point of owning that dog and putting that much heart… energy… and effort into a dog that will never patrol the house unless you are supervising it. Maybe I am misunderstanding some of the posts here… but it sounds like the typical Mal is destined to live its life in crate? Please correct me if I have misunderstood.

No the typical Mal ISN'T destined to live it's life in a crate... but an untrained puppy of any breed will be a handful, especially a Mal.

IMO people shouldn't buy puppies and then leave them loose expecting them to protect them...

My 12 year old son may know how to fight and use a weapon, but would I place him in the role of a security guard with no supervision?... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Aaron: To be honest I've read the majority of your posts and I can't figure out where your coming from (or where your going) with some of your posts. A little more clarity would be appreciated.

Cindy...

I agree a child nor puppy should be left unsupervised, but I thought some of the posts were indicating crating was a typical lifestyle of a Mal...

I am so glad that is not the case. So what you’re saying is when the dog matures and is properly trained he will no longer need the crate and can patrol the house without much concern for destructive behavior.
