Let’s take a moment to talk about genetics. I just got off a call with someone who got a cane corso and his dog bit the gardener who came into the yard unannoun...ced and a friend who did the same. Now he wants to rehome or euthanize the dog. He said, he didn’t raise him like that.... There’s this little catch phrase that gets thrown around, it’s all now they’re raised. Well, that’s not quite true. Look at 8 week old Kelpie or Border Collie pups herding ducks or lambs without any training, or pointers naturally on point when they see a bird. These are things that breeders have carefully selected for over time. Genetics also greatly impact a dogs nerves and environmental stability. Sure you can do a lot as a handler to try and shape and guide a dog’s genetic drives or tendencies to a certain degree, but in my opinion when it comes to breed specific traits and solid or weak nerves In a dog, genetics will always win and come through. When selecting a dog, please don’t choose the cane corso because it looks bad ass, or the border collie because you heard it’s the smartest breed, or a Malinois because it’s a police dog breed. These dogs have real needs and drives that must be satisfied, and if you can’t provide those things, select a different dog. When rescuing, remember if you get a puppy there’s no telling how the dog will end up by 3 years of age, so be prepared for unknown genetic drives and traits to be expressed as a dog develops. I truly believe if people talked more about genetics, people might be better matched with the dogs they either purchase or rescue. See more

Today as I was traveling around town running errands, I seen many people walking their dogs (even flat faced dogs) at 12-1pm in 30 degree heat and humidity even... higher. I even saw one family walking their Goodlendoodle who was excessively panting and when they got under a tree he laid down in the shade in the cooler grass trying to cool off, but the family just laughed and wanted him to keep walking! I am honestly shocked the amount of people who walk their dogs in this heat and humidity during the day, while they carry water in one hand for themselves and not a care in the world about how hot their dogs paws are or how much they are panting! Please people walk your dogs early in the morning or later in the evening when the sun is setting or has set. Your dogs can overheat so fast and go into seizures due to overheating, their tender paws can get burnt from the hot cement ****If you put the back of your hand on the cement and CAN'T leave it there for 7 seconds than DON'T WALK YOUR DOG!!****
