We got Jax, our older GSD, from a guy that has more money than he has brains. He got Jax thinking he wanted a GSD, to go along with the three labs he already had, brought him home and stuck him in an outdoor kennel. Jax was fed and watered once a day, along with the rest of his dogs and that was it. That was the total of daily human interaction for Jax.
When we brought Jax home at 13 weeks, he hadn't been inside a house since he left the breeders at 8 weeks. He hadn't toys or anyone to play with except for the lab puppy he was kenneled with.
He's now part of our family, lives in the house with us and goes just about everywhere with us. We work on training him every day and make sure he gets plenty of play time too.
Now the guy that gave us Jax sees how Jax turned out and has decided that Jax really is the kind of dog he wants, so he's decided to get another GSD.

He actually thinks he can get another dog, raise that dog the way he started raising Jax, and end up with a Jax.

MAYBE (unlikely) he'll "buy a book" about raising dogs and do a little better.

We tend to learn from mistakes.

(But, some folks won't learn "Hello". )

That is exactly how we got our first GSD eleventy milliony years ago.
You get out what you put in. Kinda like a computer, but if you thrash your computer it won't bite you.

Surely the same breeder will not let them have another pup? I've read quite a few of your posts and the breeder seems on top of it so i would really hope not. If he can't get one from the same breeder maybe just maybe he will give up. Sad sad people live in this world.

Yeah, I enlightened the breeder about how different what the guy said he was going to do with Jax and what he actually did do was. I know they were saddened by it. Saddened also by the scars left on the back of Jax's legs from having nothing to sit on in the hot sun but concrete. I can't tell them what to do, but I know they remember.
It's not that I'm not grateful in a way that the guy does have more money than brains. Without that fact we wouldn't have Jax.
Sadly enough, that guy's attitude towards dogs is plenty prevelant around here. They fed em - from a sack of whatever feed is cheapest at the co-op, water em and stick em in an outdoor run; if they aren't just allowed to run free.
Then they see Jax and Kane and ask, why doesn't my dogs coat look that good? How do you get their eyes to shine like that? What did you do to train them to behave so well?

Unfortunately if that breeder wont sell to him there is always someone that will.
You would think he would get a clue after the first time it not working out.
Like you said. Some people.

Wow! How sad for the soon to be new pup! Our next door neighbor (the one we have trouble with over Klaus) does the SAME thing! We've watered the poor dog..they spend zero time with it. It just stays in its outdoor enclosure... So sad! Some People!
