All you do is ask questions about puppies on kijiji......do/did you even mourn poor Skipper??!! You should never get another dog, you didn't even care about skipper, to have him put to sleep and the same day (and even before) your looking for a new dog to destroy!!

Get a fish!!

Tina, you seem to have a lot of "just asking" questions that sound like you are alrady shopping for a new puppy.

When puppies are teething they will bite, and since their baby teeth are very sharp they may draw some blood. What will happen then?


Please dont get another dog... Dogs are not for everyone and they are most definitely not disposable.

I agree with Masha. You have a small child, and had to put down one dog already. I'm wondering if your former dog even had aggression issues before you put him in your home. Dogs that are in homes with small children need supervision, mainly because small children don't know how to properly handle them. Ultimately they will sometimes get bitten, why? Because they were too rough with the dog or even cat.

Please, do not get another dog. You apologized in your other thread for letting us down. IMO, it's not us you let down.

excuse me for asking a question. I constantly think of Skipper and if any of you were put in the same situation some of you would had done the same thing. I don't reveil everything It wasen't Skippers first bit it was his fourth if you really need to know. I worked with him the best I could my son was to afraid of him. I don't care what any of you think I ask question and get nothing but fake rude people. I don't dispose of dogs I have had dogs all my life and all but Skipper died of old age or cancer so all of you can go to hell.

Why worry a bout that? With as 10 year old in the house who might get bit again, I think that in about 6 months we will experience deja vous. Perhaps this time you can get this poor dog to a rescue in time to save it's life...

I agree with everything you said FordGirl however this thread was asked how do you tell what the weight will be when the dog gets bigger? NO one has answered but most people feel the need to discuss Skipper I have asked the admin to close this thread for being off topic and being insulted. I know people feel strongly about animals and they have every right however I don't need to be insulted in the process.

This is for anyone who wants to answere the question. If you can't then don't reply simple. I will not discuss the other topic I don't need to be constantly reminded.

Tina - You have 4 legitimate answers there, and they are all the same - THERE IS NO WAY TO TELL. So I would say there's your answer, and if you don't want to be insulted about Skipper anymore, just unsubscribe from this thread and let it die.
