That's pretty good. I agree with the whole dog whisperer thing and the hillbilly remarks sound a lot like here in Missouri. country bumpkins!! My husband worked with a young guy that had never seen a gallon of milk nor knew what a pharmacy was!!! NO he wasn't amishI have to total agree. Used to argue this all the time as a groomer when I owned a pitbull and also argue this with recent Ex. Fact yes some breeds were orgianal breed for aggression. However before you say all and point to mine or to a current breed better check breed makeups background and what made her. Fluffy used to be bigger. Inbreeding and puppy mills have ruined many tempers in dog breeds. As a former AKC handler, trainer, breeder, and groomer I've got more bite mark scars from little pee fart. Use to tell people all the time its in good breeding, knowledge of the breed, care, handeling, proper training (and not well I take my dog to such and such and have it trained). Honey if you don't know how to handel the breed and be the dominet one fluffy will eat you too. Their gribbing about my killer dog who is laying in the middle of the floor in a grooming shop with open doors relaxing not bothering a thing while a toddler son is playing next to him and loving on him kinda ruff. Whats fluffy doing tearing up the kennel, blood dripping off my finger, fluffy had to be muzzeled to be groomed, a catch poll to get it out of the crates, fluffy has no current vacinations oh and did i mention when came in looked like someone mowed the yard and went "oh look i found a dog". True story nasty witch only brought her stupid poodle in just before christmas every year for about six years to be groomed cause the familys coming over. Stupid thing had to be muzzeled everytime, every year had to down right demand proof of current rabbies vacinations, has actually bit a kid before, came in a tangled up matted up black poolie but left a sparkling white poodle. But fluffy is such a perfict dog and my pitbull is going to one day eat a kid. On a side note she stopped coming after we again gave her our cradintials in dog care and made her get that little monster out herself after I was bit with it just standing on the table waiting to give it time to relax and settle in which as I recall took you about an hour of just standing there next to it. Plenty of stories like this. Leason learned I dont groom anymore. OMG and customers only got worse after Dog Whisperer. Lord people leave it to that man. You are by no means an expert because you watch Cesear Chavez do it. He has way more experiance and knowledge than you do.
On a side note if we ordered something we knew since we were small, may be awhile having these, we tried to get care sheets and at least read about them before they arrived. And tried to stick with things like Rosies and strip knees.
We used to git all kinds of just great questions on T's too.
Rosies Them: "Oh thats one of dem der bird eater thingys." Us: "No sir its a rose hair." Them: "Dunt look no rose I ever seed." Thinking: Bet not sir.
Scorpions: Them: "you know if the sting you, you'll die." Us: "Sir thats an Emp might hurt like heck but you prob wont die" Thinking: Unfortunently. Wait really want ta be the first? Maybe lessen the population of the short bus.
Them: "You know they have to be on sand." Us: "No mam those belong on mosit dirt." Them: "They come from the dessert. Theres no dirt in the dessert." US: "No mam this is a diffrent type of scorp. Diffrent types all have diffrent requirements" Thinking: Isn't sand dry dirt.
Kid one time and I mean all of maybe 13-14: "I want a deadly one." Me: "Good go find one. I won't buy em' dont ask." Brat: "Well I'll come back with my mom." Mom upon return from shopping "He wants one thats more posionus." "May I suggest another pet store. I' do not sell Scorps other than Emps. Expecially to kids." Talks to manager who is basically adopted grandfather. He tells her same. They storm out. Hope the little torp got stung too.
