Dog training methods, dog breeding, religion, politics are all very dangerous topics. I really like my very healthy, fully intact, sane, and happy, pure bred Boston Terrier. He is two now and can pull me on my bicycle for about 3 miles before he is warmed up enough to just find pace, then he can easily run another 10 miles at about 6 MPH without straining. His parents were from different lines, and he was given to me as a gift from my uncle's wife who bred him at home. I've seen dogs of this same breed who cost over $1000 and were fat, wall-eyed, neurotic, snot snorting freaks. Why anyone would pay that much money for a non-working dog is beyond me, but they are still much cheaper than human kids. That is why I'm gonna pay for my own surgery first, then the dog. There is no better friend than a good dog, but in order to have a good friend, you must be a good friend. Dogs aren't something to own, they are for working or for companionship. Anything else, is not fair to the dog, but if you are lucky, the dog might take pity on you and not destroy your yard and home in frustration. Cats are much easier.
