Evolv-ing Thread

Well, if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and has feathers like a duck...

Going back and watching the video, this time, I got the feeling that the behavior specialist was intimidated by giant breed dogs or at least this one. That's not an unusual reaction for people to have. Reading the synopsis of the Boerboel in the posting with the story, I think it is a better description of the breed. Also, keep in mind the circumstances for the dogs, owner dead and a bunch of strangers trying to get into the house. From my own experience with dogs I can say that most of the ones I have had as pets become aggressive toward strangers trying to get into the house without being invited in by me and that's, actually, one of the reasons many people appreciate when having a dog as a pet.

Any breed can become aggressive under the right(wrong) circumstances. The Pit Bull is a prime example, if raised by a "normal" family as the family pet, they are actually a good breed and not aggressive. Unfortunately, and much more often, they are raised to be aggressive and the publicity that has generated has put a black mark on the breed. The owner is the one responsible for the behavior and attitude of a dog.

just a very sad thing to happen for both the owner and the dogs. i had tried to put the story out of my mind but then you posted that pic of your pup

Sorry, didn't mean to upset you, Tibs. I just gets me a little irritated when someone makes a blanket statement like that behaviorist did.

 

[tiburonfirst]

you didn't upset me, awsum - euthanizing those dogs upset me especially since there is doubt how the woman died.

Tungsten - not bad at all.....

30awg, 7 wraps around 3mm shank (actually was 8 wraps but allowed for 1 wrap to spring back), 0.11 ohms. Didnt do any fancy "hot wrapping", just 8 wraps and then 1 wrap sprung loose, resulting in 7 wraps.

• Springy as hell, but nothing we havent dealt with before.
  
• Clean, total absence of any wire taste.
  
• Easy to wick, coil held its shape with firm rayon wick.
  
• A little on the expensive side
• Runs smooth on a dna.

Liking it so far, will let you know after first rewick. Its just wire though, not any kind of game changer or anything.

So, where'd you get the tungsten wire from? What gauge? Inquiring minds want to know....
