picked on because of breed! - Page 3

Sitasmom,

You were being rude!  Pardon me for saying so but......LDD has GSD's maybe not your color choice but they are none the less, still GSD's.  Just white ones.  Not the standard, we all know that.  Get over yourself.    I'm not a fan of LDD but she/he still didn't deserve what you posted!

OH just stop and thing of a while, what if you were at the park with your trainer and someone came up and ordered you to move your car at once and becasue you didn't , reported a false claim about your dog to the police department.

Will you please stay on topic

Sitasmom... I have owned GSD's for 20+ years, gone to parks etc. I have NEVER once had something like that happen.  I don't think this had anything to with the "breed", just your rudeness. Were you supposed to be parked in front of the hose???  I am by no means on any "attack" but your behavior and comments to this person were rude and uncalled for. Like the saying goes "What goes around comes around", and you got your just deserts.

And another thing Sitasmom,

The topic of your thread is "Picked on because of breed".  Did you not just shun LDD because of the dogs that she has, tell her to go away, your not our kind?  You sound like the leader of a click in middle school.  Is that how you want people to view you?  I would think not.  But that is the impression I'm getting.  People may know you but alot don't and then this his how they see you.  I'm sorry to say but you put yourself out there as better than others.  That is only the impression I am getting.  If you don't like what someone says you just tell them to "go away now?"  Also, excape is really escape.  Just stating the facts as I see 'em.  Don't go putting me on your hit list now.

Regards,
Jen

I must live in the wrong part of the country or something.

All I ever get when I'm out with my girl are compliments on how well behaved she is and the only time people show an 'awareness' of her breed is when they respectfully ask if it's all right to pet her or if she's a 'service' dog.

My husband had dropped us off at Petco because we decided it was better for me to thake them in the store then to leave them in the car while he shopped at the local hardware store. This was on the way home from SchH practice a few weeks ago.

The place was packed, it was customer appriciation day and they were having a best tressed dog contest....There had to be 3 dozen little poodledoos of all kinds in silly costumes waling the isles...It seemed that half of the customers were un attended kids who wanted to climb all over my dogs.  they were also had multiple dog resuce orginazitions and pet photography too.....

Inspit of the circus, I took Hero and Sita inside to pick out some squeeky balls and training treats. There were so many people of all ages wanting to pet and play with my dogs that I had to hurry with my purchases and get out.

We waited outside of the store and while waiting people would start conversations about gsd's that used to have or the ones they wanted to get. I would do my best to educate about the OFFA and other hip certifications and how important it was to only buy puppies from certified parents.

I told my dogs to lay down and to stay. People and children form diaper aged to retired all petted my dogs and they just stayed and waited for it all to end. One of the little boys grabbed Hero's lips and pull them up to see his teeth.....I stopped him as quickly as I could. Anyway Hero just sat ther and took it. When the kid let go, Hero actually licked the kid........

I was so glad when my husband came and rescued us from the mob........and so were the dogs............

That being said.....no my dogs are not viscious, and yes I bend over backwards to promote the breed.......




This woman was having a really bad day and wanted to push us around.......when we didn't jump through a hoop at her command she went crazy!

i left my lab/gsd/husky outside a local business briefly years ago. when i came out, a crack druggie woman was displaying a hole in her pants and a scab, claiming my dog bit her, and she was going to call the cops. i looked at bandit, and she was sitting there just shaking like a leaf, terrified. i had $5 on me so i shoved it at the accuser and she pocketed it and said she wasn't going to call the cops after all. whew. another person at the scene said i should not have done that, said he looked at it and it was an old scab, no way my dog could have done, he had seen my dog enough times to know that she wouldn't bite anybody, and the cops should be able to tell. i just shrugged, oh well.
about 5 years later, that same woman ran up to me, gave me a hug, asked how i was doing, and apologized profusely, saying how sorry she was, she was on drugs then and just wanted money to get some. she said my dog definitely did not do anything to her at all and she hoped i wasn't mad at her.
yeah it's wise to be careful. there are plenty of psychos out there. out here, anyway.

great ending to a very sad story....

Sita, it doesn't matter that I only have 9 posts. It doesn't take long to read your posts and see that in many ways your are bright but in many ways you are very immature about things. It is always your way or the highway. You always need to be the center of attention.you state that you have one of the best trainers, your political views are always right, as you stated all the meanful stuff about Ted Kennedy. Look back and reread some of your stuff. You complain about stuff and then you turn around and do the exact same thing yourself. I wish I knew your real name so I would not make the mistake of shaking your hand on the field. The CGC is not very hard to pass. Congrats on passing it but bragging is not needed. If your trainer was so good he/she would tell you to stop posting such garbage on a public forum. White Shepherds are german shepherds. Just as black ones are gsd. Yes it could be argued but so could the fact of is a BH a title or not. Pass the BH first then go for your CGC. A lot easier that way. Oh by the way, if a BH is not a title then the CGC is not either. I am not saying that a BH is or is not but I would rather brag about getting a BH than a damn AKC CGC. If you can't pass a CGC than you are not a very good handler or you have a very shitty dog. Which is it?
