Glad to have people like you around to keep those that don't have a clue from ruining everything. I currently have 8 dogs and have had all sorts of breeds (all from the humane society !!) and I am a firm believer that it's not the dog that breeds agression, it's the owner. Change the owners and the dogs will follow. BZ!! Great job Liz! Glad to have people like you around to keep those that don’t have a clue from ruining everything.

Do you really think dogs who cannot pass the CGC or something like it shouldn't be able to live in the city? I think that's incredibly extreme, and would result in a massive UPSWING in shelter intakes, rather than the contrary...

I realize your article only applies to Marine bases, and some will always prefer to "dump" their dog than take the time to learn & train. I just think if it was standard practice for responsible owners to do what they had to do to for ALL DOGS living in city limits to pass something like the CGC, the shelter populations across the country would plummet. I can always dream, right?

All of the Rotties I have known have been very nice dogs with responsible owners, and I'm happy to see you and your staff helping them out. Good for you, Liz.

I brushed off the idea of Rotts before I got one, what a sweet dog. Thank you for doing something really helpful instead of simply arguing the point.
