No I think my post is the one that offender her, not yours, LOL.
Sorry if I offended you,
Magneticgal, and I know that sometimes certain dogs do have behavior issues that are beyond the owners control. And yes sometimes it is genetic. However what I was
trying to say, and probably didn't word it correctly, is that alot of times it
is due to how the dogs themselves are raised and handled. But no, NOT always. For example, a dog who is neglected and always has to fight other dogs for it's food, if ever given the chance at a new home, may have issues with other animals, or people, coming near it when it eats. That would be an example of the way a dog with a temperament issue was "raised"...if you can even call it that
And as I said, with my sisters friends dog, the way she was handled from day one is a result in the way she acts today. Always being teased, having four kids rough house with her 24/7, etc. Even her owner admits that. Her kids were too rough with her. That is just a fact. What I should have added in my post though, so that I didn't offend anyone, is that this is not always the case. And I should have also added, that most of the dogs that
I personally have seen with temperament issues, have them because of things in their lives that have happened that caused them. I do know the reality is that some dogs are this way and it is completely and totally beyond the owners control. It is out of their hands, and yes, again...sometimes it is just genetics. It works both ways. Again, sorry to have offended you. Didn't mean to, I promise
