She is basically a behavioral disaster, we have spent years trying to reverse the behavior she learned in the first 6-8 months of her life. She has severe separation anxiety and territorial issues. Luckily, she is phenominal with my 2 year old. My whole point is, buying a dog is a huge commitment, one that most people aren't willing to devote the amount of time that it takes to have a well behaved dog, which is ultimately way better off for the dog and the owner. If you get a dog from a GOOD breeder, then youre getting the dog at the best possible time to begin training and generally with the best disposition to be trained. I get that people want to save a dog. and if its the right owner, then thats fine, unfortunately 75% or more of owners dont want to deal with any extra-curriculurs. they just want a plug and play pet
