100% correct... as with all behavior its the people involved making the mistakes... short of the dog having distemper or rabies..all dogs are born puppies... and LEARN behavior... just like people behavior is learned not genetic... and its usually fear based when its bad and even in people... darcy
I am gonna jump in on this as I am a breeder as some other's here are...From what I have read on this whole Ricky deal the dog was an intact male who was removed,given up,stray,or what ever the reason was..Maybe his owners died and he's had to adjust..Getting neutered being placed in the ASPCA and then a new home where he refused to eat was doted over and shown affection and love from one family member and teased and taunted by 2...How in the Hec is this a breeders fault?? Suggestions were given by the group to tell the BF to leave the daughter told you they would move if you kept the dog...or you told them to get out one..So the dog (Ricky) now knows how upset you get around them over this but let me get this right he's suppose to like them...Picking him reminds him of one thing being violated and losing his jewels...take them off of your husband after he had them all these years I guarantee you his feelings would be on the same level...I think the comment about being down sized chows was a pun that there little dog's with personalitys of a large dog..Chow I wouldn't have used just cause I can't stand those...Great dane,Rotti sure...they want to think they are the boss and in charge..I think one to many people are trying to be in charge with Ricky ...Ricky has clearly chosen you as his person he tolerates the husband and has not acted out towards him as I dont' recall you saying so...I have had dog's come from breeders who haven't given them the time of day or socialized them if you think they were angels WRONG it took years of patience and lot's of work..I have my own dog's turn on kids because of mis treating by nieces and nephews and they came from the most laid back lines didn't have a thing to do with how they were bred.....IT was PEOPLE who Ruined them from liking everyone!
