live in a condo? Get a small dog.
Have a big house with lots of yard space?
Get an active dog.
Different dog breeds have different energy levels, attention spans, attention needed etc.

breed makes a big diff... dog, cat... whatever.
that's like picking a wife based on... just there's a woman that's free. lol.
breed dictates personality (and training, but genetics plays a big role).

breed dictates personality (and training, but genetics plays a big role). | breed dictates personality? So you believe pitbulls are all dangerous or is it bad owners who make them hat way?

A big portion of that is owner training as well, taking the dogs for walks, showing them attention that they need. Thats why this story is so frustrating cause these people trusted this dog walker to take care of these dogs during the day, taking them on walks and giving them the exercise and social interaction they need.

I wouldn't say more potential to be dangerous but I'm just speaking semantics here. I'd say more potential to do harm based on the situations its put into due to high levels of strength and agility. Unfortunately for me, and my dog, pitbulls, and german shepherds are high on that list which often means he is met with fear or criticism. Just means I spend more time developing his positive interactions with people and dogs which is actually pretty awesome.
There is nothing wrong with choosing a breed that carries common behavioural characteristics that coincide with your lifestyle. The only real problem with animal breeding is the breeding of negative characteristics for the sake of vanity and recognition. https://dogbehaviorscience.wordpress...d-improvement/
However again, as manic usually manages in every thread he posts in, this is pointlessly off of the original topic on a confusing tangent due to his incoherent ramblings that makes everyone who acknowledges his posts basically start a new conversation.

it's an outrage because it's a pet. that's the ENTIRE POINT. PERIOD. THAT'S IT.
your entire "argument" is "if they weren't pets no one would care".
no shit sherlock. if it was a bunch of raccoons a crazy lady kidnapped off the street it wouldn't be a big deal.
but then again, i don't think anyone would be paying her and she wouldn't be running a raccoon kidnapping business like the lady in the story.

Is a homeless mans murder less important than the death of a family man? Just because something is a pet and is loved by it's owners should have no effect on the punishment given to the killer.

I've read through this post 5 different times and still have no idea what you're trying to convey.

he's saying emotions shouldn't come into play in the pursuit of justice....i think, which would mean he finds the sentence too harsh.
but if so, i don't know why he's continuing with you guys except for shits and giggles, especially after my pointing out to him what destruction of property (mischief) can get you in terms of max sentencing, in Canada (1st page) to show she really just got a harder slap on the wrist (but still a slap)

When this is the root of your argument on this thread's subject you'd be hard pressed to find anyone non-retarded to agree with you.
You should go out on a date with Macnair or something. Top it off with some dog stew and a walk through the kennels filling out paperwork for adoption but not actually adopting anything.

After that file a dispute with paypal. Also looks like Kishi needs a home urgently.

DOGS ARE NOT CHEAP TO RAISE. | That's like saying a Pinto is worth thousands of dollars because of insurance, gas, repairs, and maintenance.
The opinion that the author (and Manic) seem to think one can just kill any animal and write a cheque for its "market value" is the issue at hand. "Market value," as with cars, doesn't include associated costs of ownership.
So ... along the same lines ... Should one be able to kill the dog walker and cut a cheque to her family for her "market value," which would now be presumably lower now relative to prior to the incident given her demonstrated incompetence and lack of trustworthiness ... ? | |
