Unless the people who get those dogs are capable of "holding a problem dog together". Agreed, alot of "problem" dogs or rescues are manmade, but it doesn't change the fact that they can come with issues or baggage. Sure~that dog was out of sorts, scared, alot of strange and new, but a DOGBITE IS A DOGBITE, NO MATTER WHAT THE MOTIVATION. It is nice to KNOW the motivation, to help "fix" it, avoid it, correct it~whatever~but that dog tried to bite when you touched him, tried to worm him, everything. From the shape he arrived in~we doubted he would have even ever had a rabies vacs or other vacs~he certainly hadn't been wormed or fed, so I seriously doubt anyone had sprung any bucks for proper vet care. So~you're right on that end~he should be called "lucky"~and I'm glad he's in a new home and salvaged~but sometimes the hardest part of BEING responsible dog owners, is NOT keeping the bad ones around. He came out of Texas~so who's breeding that?!?! And he's not the only dog or DS I've re-homed, but he is the only one that went thru your group.
1) NADSR does not take in dogs that have a bite history or have even been trained in bite work.
2) If the dog came through the rescue and through Trudy, it would have been vaccinated and wormed and fed; NADSR does spend "bucks for proper vet care"
3) Wondering why you don't seem to have an issue with your potential client who felt a need to ask the question, "wondering if this kennel is a legitimate kennel" ?????
