Are you kidding me?
You have the lowest standards I have ever heard of ...
on yourself ... and how YOU conduct your business as a dogman
You are the textbook definition of "worst thing that could ever happen to a dog" ...
Okay, so you're trying to socialize him (I guess), but I am just curious, do you do anything else right with your dogs?
You keep them in crates till they're deformed; then you put them on ramshackle chain setups that are so embarrassing you delete the photos of them ...
AND that they escape from (and get in yard accidents because of), etc.? (You remember I predicted that?)
Now you're talking about putting them in a keep before he's 7 months old ... when he can't even walk straight ... or before the scabs have even fallen off from a kennel fiasco ... and you have the audacity to say YOU have "high standards?"
Buddy, lift your head up and look in the mirror so you can see straight:
you're a poster child for "the perpetual fuck-up" in dogs
There is nothing "high" about your standards in ANYthing that I have either seen, or read about. Nothing.
So I am curious, have you every thought about doing everything RIGHT instead of doing everything wrong?
You might be surprised at how much better your dogs do ... some might even make it to old age on your yard.
