Large Dogs and Little People

Yesterday my wife and I were talking to a neighbor who was passing by with her black lab. At the same moment the neighbor across the street unexpectedly came out from behind a tree with her large pure bred (some large copper colored poodle -as big as the lab). Next thing I hear "SMACK"! The 60ish lightweight woman is face down on the blacktop and the dogs are having a little "one-ups-man(dog)-ship". Not a battle - just some good natured fun with each other.

Thank heavens the lady got up and recovered - I had thought we were going to have to call an ambulance. It never ceases to amaze me how many people want large dogs but can't handle them.

Large Dogs and Little People

Funchy, I guess I can understand how it is so difficult to hold these dogs back. But I think you should have a 150-200 lb muscular and physically fit person in the family before you get a dog like this. My in-laws had a black lab that happily ran up our basement steps and actually knocked the basement door right off its hinges once!

I just am amazed that I seem to know lots of elderly people that get these large dogs and I know one, at least, that has to now get rid of the dog. They think the larger the better, until you face the fact of what it really takes to raise these dogs. The person I am thinking of now has a Burmese Mountain dog - it is huge and the elderly lady can no longer control the dog. Also - many folks seem to send these dogs to obedience school and, because they are not firm with the dog, the training is soon lost. They want to be the dogs friend rather than the master.
