Breed Specific “Discrimination”
April 11th, 2009 by admin2
You know, it’s troubling to think that someone adopting a child, will not be able to do so with a german shepherd dog. Does this make sense? Can we not be as biased when it comes to people, careers, ethnicity or socioeconomic status? If not, than how can we be so breed discriminating? On which scientific theory or statistic has this decision been based? I think that these “assumptions” are grossly inappropriate displays of ignorance and based on nothing more than that.
Frustration…. I have a pure german shepherd, that is not only a therapy dog, but one of the loves of my life. Nonsense deserves to be called nonsense. Punish irresponsible breeders and cruel humans.

I have to say from first hand experience that your full blood German Shepherd is such a lovable baby. He is so gentle and sweet. Could he have turned out to be different? Well, of course, with another trainer, another owner, another mommy… of course. The dog is not the issue, the trainer is. Train a protective breed to “protect” and what you end up with is aggression. I have a part shepherd part border collie, as well as a chow. Both can be snappy.. especially the chow chow breeds. My 2 dogs are lovable and gentle. They play, run, lick… and never nibble!

German Shepherds specifically (I had one growing up) are great ‘kid’ dogs!! They protect their family from everyone and everything. Personally if I had kids I would want a dog like that around, especially as I grew up a latch key kid and sometimes the only one home when me and my brother got home from school were the dogs. To be discriminated on the basis of what kind of pet you own?? That is nonesense. My dad used to have piranahs, so does that mean he was a bad guy?? Not in the least.. Dog owners are dog owners, reguardless of breed..
