Now, it will vary from dog to dog, but getting a well-bred "protective" breed, like a GSD, can pay dividends

I should have clarified - was typing on phone the first time.

Our GSD was extremely protective of our family for 7 years. He was extremely intelligent - would literally stop at our property line when chasing a ball or frisbee.

Our issues occurred when he had developed hip dysplasia, and our youngest (barely able to walk) would throw himself onto the dog's back like he would a toy. The poor creature couldn't get up and move without experiencing pain, so growling at our son was his way of telling the child to back off --- but the child couldn't understand any of this.

Since we couldn't monitor the child's location and activity every second, and since the vet (45 years ago) didn't have anything to stop the dog's hip pain, I had no option but to have the dog put to sleep.

Prior to the onset of hip dysplasia, he was the gentlest dog you could ever meet. The neighborhood children (ages 3-7) would literally ring our doorbell and ask if
"Cuz" could come out and play. Or they would come into our house and play with him.

This dog was like a member of the family (he literally slept under the older son's crib starting the first day we brought him home from the hospital). But his status was still below that of a toddler. I could barely see well enough to drive home after taking him on that final trip. I still tear up thinking about it.

Hopefully there are treatments now for this condition. Cuz should have enjoyed a life span about double what he actually had.

Doesn't matter what she may have done. Dog needs to be put down.

I went through this with a German Shepherd. One of the saddest days of my life- but can't own a dog that growls at my child.

A lot of you folks don't realize how little time you'll probably have to draw your gun.
And maybe some don't understand that most thugs, most druggies and many mentally ill people are not going to run away just because you pull a gun. You better be well trained enough to physically stop them at 20 ft. (Or maybe more).

Massad Ayoob has posted several videos on the topics of best, or most reliable self defense guns. Unfortunately, he went to work for Wilson Combat several years ago --- and it's easy to see the effect of a paycheck on published favs.

I don’t recall seeing Kimber.

I did see a thread on another board discussing a new SIG P320 lawsuit.

That is a rabbit hole I would rather not go down!!!

Maybe we should be more tolerant and understanding.

I don't claim to have any training in mental health matters, but Hutton seems to be about as disoriented as Biden - which is sad. It may be that he really can't stop posting this stuff. :dunno:

My bad. I thought advertising was forbidden on this site.

Website says headquartered in Las Vegas. (Anybody can rent classroom at Bass Pro).

Why deal with some el cheapo company like this ?

I know how to do it.

But you said you're basing all this on a one-shot group. Sound like you need an experienced shooter to shoot a five round (minimum) group.

:rolleyes:
