You had to be there. One of the handlers got mauled,pretty entertaining. All in all,great dogs,some cool folks too. Here's The House Mouse playin with a pup.
He did do some big damage,but I blame the owner and handler. He was best of show till that incident.He's been heavily trained in guarding,was wound up,and the owner passed him off to an inexperieced handler,then they both panicked (forgeting the abort command) etc etc. They're dogs who want to please,and my guess is he had a little trouble distingishing the show round from the shutzen and attack rounds.(BigBSBusa @ May 13 2007,15:35) That one that did the mauling certainly needs to go back to school! I love these dogs, but they (like other big dogs) can do a lot of damage!
I have pinch collars(the kind with the 2 inch bent spikes that point in) for all my Rotts for when the Mouse walks the dogs. But,if one of these brutes decides to go after something...its only good training that will stop them.(ROBB @ May 13 2007,14:57) LOOKS LIKE SOME OF THESE LADYS SHOULD INVEST IN A PINCH COLLAR...AWFUL BIG DOGS NOT TO HAVE ONE...TAKE IT FROM SOMEONE WITH 2 PITS...MY BOY HAS TO HAVE ONE ON WHEN WALKING AROUND THE NEIGHBORHOOD...NOT TO BE USED AS A NEGITIVE THING ONLY A CORRECTION BUT THAT ONE LADY LOOKS LIKE SHE WAS HAVING BIT OF A PROBLEM.
