Seeking GSD with special temperament qualities - Page 4

Very, very sad for poor Cassie.  Having read the Cassie and the Wolves story, she sounds sane and calm. 

This story stinks.  I agree that there is an overblown ego here.

Don't know if I'd sell Koach a dog, but I'd love to vote him in as my Governor.

Read the Koos article, especially this part...... 

"What do you do to test your puppies?  On the moment that the puppies are born, I want to see them being healthy. I want to see them finding their mother quickly and start suckling. I want to see them being competitive. If I see them without the survival instincts, I put them down by the vet on a respectable way. I raise them in a natural environment.''

Here's the article...

From what I understand Koos is one of the best.  I do encourage Koach to rethink this decision because I feel he's understandably frustrated.  Breeders should be called into question more often.  I think this topic brings up further discussion.

People like this make me sick!  If we did this to the human race.... THERE WOULD BE NO ONE LEFT!!!!

Maybe KOACH should not own a dog, PERIOD!!

Koach, I'm also willing to pay you $500 for Cassie. It won't pay completely for a puppy, but it will help.

 My two cents....If GSD'sRock agrees to spay Cassie....What would  Koach have to lose..???
      She will not be bred if that is his concern...Seems reasonable IMO...Please consider letting someone else take her...There is so much sorrow in this world, if someone is willing to act with kindness and mercy why not let them...???....

Thanks, Deanna.

For those who are interested, here is Cassie's pedigree:

This is becoming more and more a case of owner/dog mismatch.

You have someone willing to pay to have the dog health tested for thyroid issues, spayed, shipping costs to a new home, cost of gas and your time to get her to an airport PLUS 500.00 for her. Please give this dog a chance, she may not be for you but could be and will be for someone else!

 Ladies, I surrender. We will spend another year trying to de-sensitize her and looking into possible health issues, which we already had started. Will keep you posted.

You all realize I hope how irrational you have made me. As irrational as you all are. It is only through culling that the great dog breeds of today exist. That we can produce enough food to feed this planet. How many cows were culled while trying to get the great milk producers of today that feed our children, etc. 
Unless you are all vegetarians (pure vegans),  which by the way I am, you have animals killed everyday to feed your families. What a bunch of hypocrites you all are.

I will post photos of Cassie from time to time and will honestly let you know over time if I was able to help her poor genetics. meanwhile the good "old fashioned GSD" that I so long for will have to wait.
