“She took it in because the previous owner said it was dangerous.
She was going to try to train it to not be vicious. Didn’t work.”
In her book, Gov. Neom described Cricket has having an aggressive personality. She did not say the dog was dangerous and vicious and I very highly doubt anyone with half a brain would attempt to train a dangerous and vicious animal to hunt pheasant or allow to run loose in the presence of children or livestock.
Your attempt to defend Governor Neom is just making her look worse. You are basically arguing that the Governor is a person who has very poor judgement.
My father trained a number of prize-winning hunting dogs, mostly Brittanys. High strung and annoyingly intelligent. One in particular was sneaky, could climb almost any fence and even turn doorknobs, but one was just stupid but nevertheless a sweetie.
He tried to train a Finnish Spitz, a nasty biter. Didn’t work, but didn’t have to be put down until crippling old age, thanks to tolerant neighbors. Most untrainable dogs aren’t so lucky, and shouldn’t be.
