First, if you’d actually read my posts, you would see that clearly on no less than four separate posts I have expressed this same exact sentiment.
Adult dogs, are fine for single persons and the elderly. They are not ideally suited, when UNKNOWN, for young children.
You sir, clearly, having sold the pups, then taken them back, are excluded from the topic which I addressed, because you KNOW the dogs and their situation.
Lastly, and this is only the secondary element, is that your experience is simply that: Your experience.
It neither proves it will be true for all dogs or any other dogs. Each case is unique in and to itself.
These are my points. My only points.
>Lastly, and this is only the secondary element, is that your experience is simply that: Your experience.<
Well, since my experience is only 42 years of dog training and teaching others to train their dogs, I defer to your superiority.
And as far as your posts, the one to which I replied has nothing to do with unknown dogs being suited for children, which, depending on the dog and evaluation by a skilled trainer/behaviorist, may or may not be the case. You, my dear, warned in your post to never, ever ever ever, ad nauseum, adopt an adult dog.
You posted:
>This will piss off the Animal wackos, but NEVER, Never, never, never, never, adopt an adult dog.
Ever. You do not know what behaviors, triggers, emotional baggage the animal carries. Or if it will turn at something totally off the mark.
If you want a pet: get a baby animal. A puppy, kitten, chick, whatever. Raise it, train it, care for and nurture it. And do NOT have a pet BEFORE you have children.
Your doggy loves YOU and will see the new “pets” aka your children, and lessor animals in the “pack” and will attempt to dominate them, forcing them to submission. And human children have NO PACK instinct, they will do the human thing: RESIST.
You might as well TRAIN you dog to attack and kill your children as at least then you won’t be shocked when it happens. /s<
