A dog is only as good as the person who owns it?

I know we have certain breeds but, I think an animal is capable of and not to what and how a person can handle it.

My daughter took that pitt in some time ago, I had her fixed and shots. I let her out with three of my germanshepherds and she is really good, the one I have to keep my eye on is my ole female shep that can test at times but still they all listen

Hey Harmony! I was just thinking of you today!

I think that answer is yes. Our dogs are often limited by our training ability.

I didn't see a poll to vote,but I've seen more often that other things definitely come in to play as far how good a dog turns out. Yes, the owners have a big part in it,but it also depends on that individual dog's internal 'screws' too.

Let me say right though that there are crazy people, dogs and horses = it happens to all forms of life.

the word "good" is imo stupid and meaningless when discussing dogs in general, good for what, by who's criteria, what are the qualifications of the judge judging the criteria.

i think my dogs are more than good i think they are the best dogs on the planet - in a greyhound race they would not be "good", if i took them in a schutshund trial they would be disqualified, they would get a duck in a gun dog trial but keep swimming across the lake and eat the duck - not so good....

to me they are still good dogs - yr not going to convince me otherwise.

see the problem using words like "good" without any further qualification.

It takes two basic words to train anything, so what is your point?

Nature vs Nurture. It's not all nurture.
