Chid 6,508 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 biggest one for me is my white dog turning dog aggressive .... which now means how i walk and work him as had to change as if he spots a dog in the distance he will run for it ... so its lamping only and walks on a lead all the time Quote Link to post
darbo 4,774 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 This dog out of chuckles 1987. Put my heart and soul into this dog and he was showing very good potential. Gone at just over 2 years of age. Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I bred a litter and kept my a bitch pup... It went from injury to injury and ended up being spayed and placed in a pet home aged 4.. Broke its jaw hitting a stone wall, colitis, had multiple toe fractures and toe removed.. That was just the big stuff it also and a few minor bumps an scraps.. Totally demoralising as when it was uninjured, it done everything I expected a dog to do.. Bitch had some drive and a cracking retrieve.. I always wanted another pup out of my old bitch but it was never to be.. Edited October 5, 2013 by Giro Quote Link to post
Huan72 687 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 I had a spaniel X who had "anger" issues. I got him when I was single and then got a girlfriend...........................she was good with dogs but no one knew my dog like me...................she was insistent on grooming him, which she did and then she went to kiss him on the head.................it was slow motion, I couldn't shot out "NO" in time, he latched on to her face, all 20Kg of him. She recovered with some very small scars in the end. The day after the bite I had him PTS, it was heart breaking but I couldn't risk him doing it to anyone again......................even after these past 11 years I have a photo of him in my wallet, he was my best friend at a very lonely time of my life, even now I still feel that I let him down. 3 Quote Link to post
jack the lad 170 Posted October 5, 2013 Report Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) This was the first dog I owned on my own my dad bought him for me for my 13th birthday.
