Yay Mia! I agree whole heartedly that we need laws that make it mandatory for people to have some kind of dog training planned for thier future K9 family member no matter the breed. We also need better regulation on who is allowed to sell dogs. We have a local trader magazine here that repeatedly allows KNOWN puppy mills to advertise in their publication. Makes my blood boil! Them & pet stores (the main buyers of brokers and mills) are the contributors along with back yard breeders. its sickening. The CKC & AKC are also horrid controllers of what a breed "standard" should be. it needs to be corrected at the source. I own a beautiful well behaved level 3 obedience trained female doberman from impeccable European working lines. We worked for a CGN (Canine Good Neighbor) equivalent to the American CGC together. I adore her. Pit bulls were banned in Ontario Canada in 2006. Makes me SICK how many were put down & surrendered often NEVER having a bite record in their lives. Just because owners didnt want the hassles involved with owning grandfathered animals. Responsible owners who LOVE their 4 legged family members are effected by blanket rules for the wrong-doers in our society. I believe responsible owners outweigh the bad ones. Ban the DEED not the BREED!!! WONDERFUL interview. Yay Mia!
