And there is the rub. "If they are trained right". Few animals get trained at all , most end up training their owners. Home insurance companies, and landlords are death on most all variants of the large dogs, especially the shepherd Germany or Belgian. Don't get the dog first and then ask the home insurer or landlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My eleven year marriage also came with a free Manx that was found roaming the streets, and given to me by my step father. From there it was only the beginning. In time, our family established and self funded a feline sanctuary. We had twelve of our own, and about half a dozen strays and/or unwanted ones at any given time. All were named and knew when they were called. We even had a daily visitor from the neighbors across the way. He was a gorgeous black half Persian and apparently liked our food better. What a sweet guy he was. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I benefit from a neighbor like that in the woods. People just drop off their own unwanted animals and they quickly wander up. It's okay, well till they get to calling for mating at 3 AM. The animals that is. That takes a little patience training on my part. If one or two or even twenty of God's own little creatures, patience calm, enjoy. It could be worse. A neighbor could be a violent nutcase, better that they so love animals. Praise God for them I guess. But to tend in a neighborhood more than twenty wow! I'm impressed, what fortitude that must take never mind kibble. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to not like dogs unless they are well behaved and get the picture when you show discomfort about them jumping on you or whatever I like cats because they don't (well, usually) jump on you while you are walking. they wait for you to sit down, most of the time. the psychologists among us can maybe learn something through this important information " psychologists among us" please explain why it is said that "diamonds are a girl's best friend," and "a dog is man's best friend"....

It has been my experience that dogs are a lot more of a responsibility, so it is only fair in regards to the animals to make a responsible decision knowing as many facts as possible concerning the care of any animals before taking it into ones own care & responsibility.
