Hi Candy, thanks for your advice on everything. You should start charging for it LOL. I was originally going to get a female, but well, I ended up with Nebo. I have to admit, I chose more for looks then personality (shh! don't tell!). We did look at quite a few pups, but really, Nebo and his brother were the 2 that I just couldn't stop thinking about. His parents were very calm and friendly too. My opinion was that either could be trained to be a good dog. We've had mostly male dogs, the female dogs we had were before I was even born. My mom seems to think that getting a female instead would be a "quick fix" for his aggressiveness. Apparently one of our neighbors has a sibe, and she talked to him--he went on about how he'd never get a male, and whatever, so now she's got that set in her mind. I think a female would have her own set of problems, and could also be aggressive. Out of the sibes we looked at, the females seemed more high strung and demanding of attention...as the males were more laid-back, which Nebo is sometimes, he's just also dominating.

The girls tend to get the "humph" attitude of I'll do it when I get ready. I guess that is why they are referred to as "bitches".
LOL at that.

I think I will get him neutered at 4 months then. The humane society will do it for around $47. I'm trying to convince my friend that she needs to have Lady (german shorthair) spayed soon...she's over 5 months old, so it's possible she could go into heat at 6 months. We've been joking at what german shorthair/siberian husky mix puppies would look like. LOL I don't think so.

Candy, that was so kind of you to offer that. You have to be one of the nicest people I have met, seriously. I did dig into my bank account today and enrolled him in the class. I think it will be good for the both of us. I think I need some human socialization too, lol, I'm too shy. Sorry I tend to boob about money alot. I was planning on getting a job at the beginning of the summer to earn up money to go to college in the fall. But well, I had the pancreatitis, and was in the hospital...sick...tons of tests...I really couldn't get a job at the time. I'm trying right now to get a job, the problem is, that I don't have much work experience, plus I'm young...there's too many others they want to hire. Heh. So now I'm not going to college this year, and I guess I'll attempt to be working instead. Ok sorry for the life story there. Anyway, I'd still love to do that portrait for you, but you can order it whenever you are ready. I'm just finishing up a portrait of a Briard, it's taken me forever...it was a freebie (charity)...I'll do those, but I tend to take my time more.
