Hi. I think I was trying to show the extremes that can happen. Normal home vs with my greyhound, my cousin’s over the top refusal for adoption due to house with peeling paint 3 miles away, no home vs for the shelter lab who turned out to be dangerous, & purchase of dog for $800, requiring no home vs. My daughter has 3 Pit Bulls too. I call them sloppy babies because they drool and try to all climb in my lap at the same time. They think they are lap dogs & are sooo sweet. I adopted a Miniature Pinscher who was considered dangerous when she was 3. She came from a badly abusive home. I had to turn her around if I wanted to keep her. In the first couple weeks we had some close calls, but I worked with her intensively. In 3 months, I had the sweetest dog ever. She became laid back & even tolerant of rambunctious children. She died a week ago at age 14, & the smartest, sweetest dog ever. I wish the “dangerous” mini-poodle that you mentioned lived near me because I believe I could turn that dog around. I use similar training as The Dog Whisperer with extra love on top. I would love to work with that dog. Mini dogs are my expertise.
