'Vicious' Pomeranian ordered out of Aspen

ASPEN, Colo. (AP) - It's out of town or else for Gizmo, a Pomeranian with a bad reputation in Aspen.

Municipal Judge Brooke Peterson told Gizmo's owner, Melinda Goldrich, that if the dog is seen again in town, it will be put to death. Goldrich was in court Wednesday on a charge of keeping a vicious dog.

An employee at an Aspen fitness club says Gizmo, who was tied to a fence, bit her in August. The dog served 10 days in an animal shelter.

Goldrich had been under a court order to not leave Gizmo unattended after he bit somebody in February. She was also cited in 2006 for his bad behavior.

Peterson threatened to have animal control officers round Gizmo up if he returns to Aspen.

Recidivism is high among chronic biters, I see.

But the appeals will take 78 dog years.

Dogs that bite are products of their owners.

My dad had german shepherds that were always well behaved due to his handling. He always told me that if any one of them had ever indiscriminately bit anyone he would put them down immediately..........

I do not like these little dogs, and my sister has two las wapsos or whateverthehell they are. All they do is run around and yap, yap, yap........

Little dogs have complexes, always using their bark to somehow compensate for their lack of size. I say "feed them to the dogs"! Well, the bigger dogs......

That’s what’s passing for a DOG these days?

We had a rescue dog that was a biter; wonderful with us and the kids, but he was a protective yappy little ankle-biter, which was annoying to strangers that came on our property and one sister-in-law that accidentally spooked him.

He was all signed up for Doggy Deprogramming School, but then the Hand of God intervened in the guise of a lady in a red mini-van and that was the end of that!

I have three little dogs. 2 yorkies and a pom. The owner is the one who should be held responsible in this situation, not the dog.

As far as behavior, mine are well behaved because I trained them......too many people coddle small dogs so they don't learn good behavior whether it's yapping or biting. Oh, and I have been around large dogs that are pure pain in the arses because they knock you down or eat off of the tables as well as BARK LOUD. So any dog, big or small should be trained to behave.

If I’m not mistaken, it was a Pom that drew blood from Cesar Milan during a grooming attempt.

You are so right. It is the owners, from the beginning to the end. I have what is supposed to be a yappy, nervous little dog. She rarely barks, and then only with good reason. She is calm. She has never bitten anyone, and she has had a couple of groomers who should have been bitten because they cut her carelessly. I have taken her on the plane in my purse many times and no one ever knows she's there. Her only complex is she loves to sit next to me, or on me, and she sleeps at my feet at night. Dogs reflect the way their owners treat them. My cousins have a couple of miniature Pinschers, and they behave much the same way my dog behaves. The woman in the story posted here tied her dog to a fence and went away and left it. The tiny dog felt vulnerable; no wonder it bit anything that approached it. I hope the dog doesn't end up paying for the owner's stupidity. I would never do that to my dog.

By the way, we had german shepherds when I was growing up and they never bit anyone, either.

If we could get people to stop breeding dogs with behavior problems, that would help too.

Gawdohgawd I do so hate pomeranians. Maybe there is one in the world somewhere that isn’t an obnoxious little turd, but of the dozens I’ve ever seen I haven’t found that one yet.
