Agreed.


Today i visited Roxy and talked to one of the best volunteers there. She was telling me how Roxy need help and dicipline. Befor when I had taken Roxy out by myself, she was fine. Today it was me, my dad and my friend Becky. We took her out and she got very hyper and a little too much. She thought of our hands as chew toys and would NOT stop no matter what we did. She did stop after a while, after a few scratches and some teeth marks on our hands. I don't think she's trying to be agressive, i don't think she meant to hurt us.. She just doesn't know when to stop and how to play correctly. She's also horrible on her leash. I'd love to adopt her and help her along with her porblesm but we can't have a hyper dog who doesn't know when to stop, he'd go insane and I think i would too. I love her to death though, she's a sweetie besides her problems and one of the most beautiful dogs i've seen. I'll continue to visit her, but i think visits are all she's going to get. She's a big dog and could knock even the strongest of men on their behind.

Ash-
Sorry for blabbing on in your thread. I don't think he should be put down. He's still a puppy right?? Maybe you could contact a rescue and see what they have to say befor you go to putting him down. Maybe they have people that can help him, or someone willing to spend more time [although i know you've done alot with him.] He's a smart dog, just look at all of thoose tricks. He's beautiful. His life does not deserve to end... I'm not sure what else to say but i really think you should give him a second try with another family, new surrounding and all. Maybe he needs a change or maybe they have something more to offer in helping him along. Hope this helped a little bit, and if not, sorry I have nothing else to offer.
