Where’s all the good dogs gone?

[paulus 26]

The country is full of people who now believe that there dog is something more than a dog. They buy these dogs off people who are selling them a dream, Its all a load of bollocks, A good dog is 20% bred and the other 80% comes from the time and effort that is then put into the dog by its owner, Sadly nowadays most just want to buy that 80% and it will never work.

I'd say it depends on how much of a dick the owner is, it could go either way.

You cant polish a turd, but you can get a bit of a sheen on it.

Alas the middle eastern bred sight hound is the cause of all this nonsense

Yep, certainly true of a proper working lurcher .

Sadly a lot of owners just don't realise  what a dog is capable of. The standard of dog training in this country is pretty dismal.

Could you expand on what you mean by “training”.

Do you mean obedience type trading, or fitness training ?

Cheers.
