excuse me sir but how can recreational dog sport be considered anything but play, i find that attitude disturbing.

Even though it's a sport I still want my dog to take it serious. I don't want my dog playing tug and dancing with the decoy. I wan't it to be real. I don't want a dog that barks at the sleeve, I want a dog that barks at the "bad guy". That is what I mean by this.

I never said I WAS getting a new dog or re-homing Mina. It was just something on my mind that I'm trying to work through. This was just an outlet for me. after all this, a bad choice of outlet but what is done is done.

There has been more than a time or two when I've posted something and wished I could take it back, or that I could delete the thread. I hope that everything works out for you and Mina.

If you don't want to be "judged", don't put stuff out here for folks to judge.
It's pretty simple, really.

Are you still poking and prodding? That says a lot about the type of person you are. There you go. That's my judgment.

Your statement has already been said about a dozen times in this thread

[msvette2u]

It is a general statement...people always seem amazed when they don't get the advice or comments they want, or get comments they didn't want.

The last paragraph in your last post was telling people "not to judge", even after people said "don't put it out there" "about a dozen times in this thread"

myco. you must understand your post carried a lot of potential for emotional responses given the audience which you must be well aware of.

another audience and yr post may have went unnoticed as it would be just a given.

sincerely best of luck with yr decision and hope all works out for you and dog/s.

Well in my case I wasn't looking for it to go any direction just to get it out of my head and out somewhere. To Judge me based only in this is really ignorant. I mean ignorant in the real meaning of the word:

ig·no·rant

/ˈɪg nər ənt/ Show Spelled [ig-ner-uh nt] Show IPA
adjective 1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.

2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.

3. uninformed; unaware.

4. due to or showing lack of knowledge or training: an ignorant statement.

You might want to check out this thread. Normally I don't stand up for Msvette2u but I think she gets a pass this evening.

I think after 23 pages of arguing, straying of topic, judging and practically going at each other's throats this thread should be closed.
Come on. I'm 18 and I find it ridiculous. :/ Can we not all just agree to disagree and move on to something more productive/less stressful?
