yeah my bro has a full blood red bone hound.
dumbest ****ing dog in the world. no joke. i've seen it run into a tree before.
I had a golden retriever I paid good money for @ 19 years of age
single, lived alone, college student
I had plenty of time to devote to the dog and its training, my mother has instructed people in discipline training for large breed dogs, so Im somewhat familiar with basic training techniques
fastforward to me being 23
the dog is still dumb as shit, and terrified of everything that makes a sound, and mobs people
I worked with her for the entire time, trying to improve her manners if nothing else, to no avail
now, I had a lab/rotty mix that was the best dog Id ever owned
for mainstream breeds, Id avoid the pure blood, too much inbreeding by puppy farms, mutts are the way to go for me
luckily I know a retired lady looking for a dog to sit on the couch with and eat chocolate with, the retarded golden was perfect for her
