I've had three min pins and all were hyper. Two of them chewed on anything ... literally anything. They can be a challenge for small children because they don't realize how rough they play.

A pitbull wandered into a house back on July 4th and bit a child. Fortunately, she survived ... the link is below. http://www.wave3.com/Global/story.asp?S=6777027

At home, she'll play ball for hours, but she will start to wane after she's bored. It's not an issue of being tiresome, but boredom if things aren't mixed up a little. She likes her Kong and her Chuckit, but really just likes to steal the other dog's Kongs and be chased around.;) She would...

Both are high energy and possess great intelligence and drive, but my Dutch Shepherd is calm compared to my husband's Malinois. That dog doesn't have an "off" button. I am surprised he sleeps ... seriously. Don't get me wrong, my dog is alert at all times, she's just more coy about it. The...

I never had to build her drive. I've had her since she was about three months old and in the second week, she was already biting the suit. She's seven months now and she's hanging on. She really fires up if the decoy grabs me, mimicking an attack. Not sure about all of the specifics of the...

Personal protection. Fortunately, she was born with the drive for it, and intelligence to wait for the command to use it.

She's VERY active and friendly with humans and other dogs. The best dog I've had yet.

I'm not the trainer, but here's my take on this. The main distinguishing factor would be that in obedience, the dog was given a command, they know they were given a command, and then they freely chose to not perform as asked, hence the correction (if even by the stave/stick/whatever ;) )...

No events ... just agility, tracking and protection training for now.

Not skirting the question you posed, but humans and dogs are not the same. Humans are verbal and dogs are physical (this appears to be consistent between both schools of thought, it's just the method itself that's under debate).

The malinois belongs to my husband.

They're definitely a tough breed, but she's the most loyal and intelligent dog I have ever owned. You have to dedicate a lot of time to this breed because they are very active and they love to work and play, but it's been very rewarding.

Isn't that the truth ... :)

She's a little over seven months now.

Her name is Lizzie.

These pics are two months old and she's grown a little since then ...

I think everyone can agree with that statement. I can only be responsible for myself and my actions and the same goes for everyone else. I can tell you that some people like to argue just for the sake of arguing, simply to **** people off, or to get a desired reaction. Maybe that's what...

Maybe I should've clarified my statement ... it's not the fact in itself that anyone is labeled as one of his followers, just that the advocates for PR get irritated over the fact that Richling doesn't want to hear about PR, yet they don't always extend the same courtesy to advocates for his...

This is a forum, so wouldn't other viewpoints be welcome? The theme of the attack against Richling was that he doesn't consider the alternatives or value input given by trainers that use PR, but on the other hand, it's okay to slam anyone who agrees with him? Who cares if his thread was...

Thanks for the compliment, she is a beautiful pup. I'll think about starting a new thread ... :cool:
