Rupert hurt my brother.

I don't see why you guys think what Rupert did is not bad.

Did he bite your brother? NO. What he did was not bad. A LOT of dogs jump up and can easily knock a kid to the floor and injure them..on accident! IMO, it's your guy's fault for not having trained him to know it's unexceptable to jump up on people. And if he was startled, then perhaps leaving a dog unattended in a group of small children isn't the best thing.

Your mom should seriously reconsider her thoughts on having him euthanized. Maybe it's in his best interest to be rehomed into a family that actually cares enough to get him trained and will not punish him for simply being what he is, a DOG!

yes please re read what I wrote about Zubin- and a broken leg is much more serious than a scratch on the eye.. When I had shepherds and a small child etc I was like a hawk if the dogs were with my child. No because of any danger, but to prevent accidents.
As somebody said- when training a puppy, get a thick newspaper and roll it up real tight- take a rubber band and tie each end up and when the puppy messes up- hit YOURSELF ON THE HEAD WITH THE NEWSPAPER- YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN WATCHING THE DOG... LOL..
