First of all I can agree with a couple things you said

Anyone who purchases a dog - should do some research prior to getting the dog, come on.....

- find a way to train the dog, you do not have to do obedience training with someone outside the home, you do not need to buy pricey training vids either - you can go to the local FREE Library and get a dog training book. AND she has discussed training in previous threads, you are new so therefore you didn't know/

I am 100% for altering pets

Me too!!

Second, there have been several posts about how Mannie probably has a "questionable" temperament. Come on! Racing his people to the top of the stairs is a TRAINING issue, that alone does not make him an ill tempered dog, and it's presumptuous to imply that it does.

Again, there have been past threads - but temperment plays a HUGE part of the dogs recations, training and motivation - and considering she has no history of parents (again another thread) its more possible then not....

And third, Harley Chik, bringing her parenting into question was disgusting. Shame on you.

Agree also on this.

Our goal here is to learn and educate ourselves and others as we can - she has bred dogs, and she has stated she is backyard breader

as well. I have not met a breeder who does not have some pretty strong training skills.

Yes some people were ugly some gave good advice, and some of us are biting our tongues but still trying to discourage her from breeding a spoo not health tested, no parent history, and a questionable temperement. This thread is a perfect example.
