"I'm Not looking for a showdog" - Page 10

I used the dog on petfinder as an example of a purebred, seemingly well-bred GSD (from Sch dogs) who was dumped at a rescue because the owner didn't have time for him. Also, just maybe his breeder or someone who might know who bred him reads this board and can help out. The breeder may not know his whereabouts. Actually, I don't think he's a bad looking dog either although he'd probably look better if his ears were standing and if he were stacked for the photo. I too hope he finds a good home; it looks as if he will soon be losing his foster home.

Actually I was looking myself the other day and picture wise Petfinder had a Very nice looking Male GSD. It was found lost on a hwy and was in San Antonio, Tx

..now that you'll have me looking on PetFinder, I just found a nice bred 2 yr Doberman.. his problem is jumpin' 4' fences.. chewing.. high energy..doesn't like cats....and returned to foster 4 times for behavior... LOL I inquired to purchase him with references and they told me I needed to be with-in visiting distance. Too bad for him.

Imagine finding all of these pound and/or rescue dogs with "potential", while sitting in the comfort of our home office. Who woulda thought, huh spook. By the way, spook: I never said I had any dogs that were bad ass and could beat up a GSD. I stated I could "come up" with one if I wanted to. I am sure you could also. Anybody could (just go to the pound or Pit Bull rescue ;-) I also never said I was an expert on Pit Bulls. I stated that I was "familiar" with them, "used" to have them, "have some knowledge" of them, etc. (I am not joking, but I am referring to a previous thread:)

Dudley, I was referring to your macho exchange with abhay. If you can't comprehend what I wrote earlier, I'm pretty sure it would do no good to try to explain it again. Your knowledge and experience are what they are and from that you have your opinion. But if what you're doing is challenging my knowledge or experience; we can have an obedience or tracking or protection contest for a significant amount of money. Then you can show me what a great dog from a pound works like against a piece of crap dog like I have. PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS. I don't live that far from you. AKC, USA orSV judge will be used, your choice. You did say yours were capable of schutzhund, so I know you can back that up.

spook: just go away. It is easy to talk and challenge. I have already told you that I do not participate in Schutzund or any other sport, except basketball. I am not going to do all that it takes to train and prepare a dog for Schutzund trial, just to prove my penis is bigger than yours (it is:), or any other point. Just keep following me around, trying to find a little point of contention now and then, take your little guerilla warfare jabs, whereupon you then disappear, only to jab again on the next subject. You just can't get over the fact that I beat the crap out of you on this thread. As has been mentioned on here by more than me, you hide, you hide and you hide some more. Again, it is telling, the names people use on this site. As Freud would say, you chose "spook" because that is what you do. Hide in the closet and disappear when the light is turned on. Simple really. Tell us (or tell me privately), who and what you are and maybe we can set up an obedience trial, or a "bite" contest. I have a couple of dogs ready for that now. But I will not waste more than the minute I am using now, to best you. Been there, done that. Having said all of that. Anytime you want to visit me (you have my address and name already), and try your hand at anything I am already prepared for: basketball, checkers, chess, dog obedience, target practice, penis size, boxing, wrestling, typing, kissing, ping pong, tennis, (hell, this could take all day), fishing, log splitting, jogging, racquetball, canoeing, swimming, (getting tired now and going over my one minute limit I allocated to dispatch you) poker, dog training (yep, I said it:), car racing (1/4 mile or otherwise, vroooom), assessing a good dog (at the shelter or otherwise). hmmm..... Okay, maybe I will just list the things I believe you have a chance in....... I'm thinking,..... I'm thinking, .....Oh yea, I came up with a couple. Being young and being obnoxious. Now follow me to the next thread spooky boy. P.S. Just too make it perfectly clear. I do not think your dogs are pieces of crap (I've nothing to base a judgement on at this point) or anything like that. I think your dog's master is.

Okay spook. Here's the deal. My darling was looking over my shoulder reading as I was typing the above post (I think she was checking up on me to see if I had a pen pal girlfriend on here ;-), but anyway. She thinks I should do it and she will take care of the dogs (I think she is trying to get rid of me for awhile :). I am not prepared for Schutzund (and I am not going to prepare for Schutzhund), but I will meet you anywhere and I will let you send your dog at me first, then you let me send my dog (Bull Mastiff x Boxer cross) at you. We will do a bite or two and then come back to this web site and critique each others dog performance in the bite. Obedience also if you like. Then we can settle this once and for all. I will even video your dog and you can video mine and we can put them both on Utube. Fair enough? I'm retired and can go anywhere, anytime. You tell me where you are going to be, what your name is, what your dogs name is and I promise I will be there (unless it's like Alaska or something:) You say you are near me so it should not be a problem. I won't bet you any money. It would not be fair to your family to take money from them. But I promise you, it will be interesting. If you do not "show up", I will just have a good time watching the other dogs and have a little vacation. Maybe someone else from this chat site will show up and critique our dogs in the bite. I will live with whatever the outcome is. Oh, by the way, I am sure you know this already, but I will tell you this again. I am Walter Thomas and the dog I will bring is MeatHead. She is a little old in the tooth (no pun intended), and you won't have any problem picking her out of the crowd. There will not be anything like her there, I am sure. She is about 96 or 97 pounds. Just remember to feed her the sleeve as she is not sleeve trained as sport dogs are. She goes for whatever comes first. If you feed her the sleeve, you will be fine. She does out. I hope your dog does. I can send you a couple of pics of her if you give me your email address. You do not have one on this site, for contacts. Looking forward to it spooky old pal :), and I am going to tell my other dogs to keep an eye on my darling while I am away. I think she is up to something sneaky. She pushed a little too hard for me to make a trip without her:) Things that make you go hmmmm ;-)

Dudley, put your money where your mouth is. This isn't a freebie. I you put up a significant amount we'll go. It requires only you, your dog, me and my dog, a judge and a helper, oh and cash. That 's the challenge. Write all the other diversion and bullshit you want. Here's your chance take it or leave it. This isn't a macho challenge it's a challenge to see which of us is a pretender. Put up the money so you can embarrass me. "I won't bet you any money. It would not be fair to your family to take money from them." That's pretty lame.

It sounds like a childish macho thing to me. It's no wonder the rest of the world thinks Americans are Nutz. Do you two even read what you type?

As I thought spooky. A no show. Nice cop out with the "significant" thingy. What is that too you? 20 bucks? A hundred? $36,587.00 ? Never mind. Like I said. Just go away. Your a wannabe dog trainer. Why don't you just post your dogs name and titles? How much would that cost me? BabyEagle is right. This isn't about money. It is two men (aledgedly two of us), acting like children (my wife, like DesertRangers wife, thinks we should all grow up). It is about macho, not money. I can afford whatever you want (I'll just sell a comic book or two :), but I wanted to give you an out, and as I suspected. You took it. Go away you wannabe. Played you like a fiddle ;-), chickenshit.
