regarding the baggage issue... I think all dogs have baggage....some good some bad... but if they didnīt had then how would you know about them...

for instance, Huskies "baggage" would be high prey drive.... some show it some donīt... some people may find it annoying some may find it scary..... just as the post above if someone were talking about huskies as such a bad breed I would defend them but if they said they didnīt liked them, thatīs fine... no breed is a gold nugget to be liked by all....

the good thing about this situation was that they realized they were not meant for certain breed and didnīt force the situation....

and I certainly think no one should feel upset, not even Donna, as a few have mentioned... why were you so afraid she saw this??...yes she has pits and we all love them, but there are people who just would not have them regardless of the publicity....In her shoes and in my case if this was a thread about a husky, I wouldnīt go insane calling stuff to the poster.. I would be mature enough to understand this certain breed (husky) is not for everyone and realize that what was done was the best thing for all those involved...

and certainly I wouldnīt want people saying "I hope Isabel doesnīt sees this"... why??... would I be upset.... no.... because every person know their limits and have their own choices... the situation would be soooooo different if the dog had been beaten, miscared, or somethign along those lines....

we all here love ALL dogs... but you know there are certain breed you would never have.... for whatever reason... barkiness, nippiness, lazyness, stubborn, way too active, too big, too small, too much hair, etc... and all that is the breed baggage....baggage is what comes with the breed and each indivicual has additional baggage based on how his/her life has been.....
