I am a firm beiever that it is all in the breeding and socializing of these breeds. SM

In Reply to: Question for the dog people out there... - Mimi
ThePit has certainly had a lot of bad publicity, and the Chow has a bit of the same rupturation, but I have known both of these breeds and they could not be sweeter. However, introducing the two might be a challenge. First and foremost, feeding time is dangerous when another dog is around. My neighbor's Chow/Golden mix attacked my friend's little toy poodle and almost killed her because she walked behind the dog when it was eating. It did not even attempt to take any food or go near the dish. The little Poodle was under the kitchen table and walked behind the Chow mix to go into the living room and that is all it took. If you have these two dogs together I would never attempt to give them treats or food when they are together. Just my view from a good source. Both these breeds are wonderful in their own right, but can be extremely territorial, and food is often what will ignite the situation.

socializing kids
I am a big fan of educational testing by your local university psychology department. The tests usually include an IQ test, grade level testing, etc. and there should be some choices. The testing is objective and this usually helps with the teacher/school trouble. It will also tell you exactly what is right and what is wrong, and makes recommendations customized for your family. Testing does cost money, but I have found it to be a very good investment dealing with public schools. Good luck.
breeding dogs
I have bred show dogs for many, many years. It is a labor of love. No money to be made and lots of work.
None for mixed breeds willing to help.nm

Two powerful breeds with
strong personalities, and these are mature dogs.
Might go fine, or could go badly.
The safest would be on neutral ground with a dog trainer there IMO.
I enjoy watching Cesar Milan's show, The Dog Whisperer. He has a website, also.
The security firm .... sm
was hired by her "interests" from what I can glean from just going and doing some quick searches, and if they're the ones ordering all the privacy stuff, then that goes on their bill, which in turn goes to her. I'll admit I haven't kept up on this closely, so I'm just going by doing some quick searches on Google news, (and of course, believe nothing you read and only half of what you see) but considering the news would dearly love to throw out the fact that taxpayers were paying for this, if it were true, then I would think it's probably true that this is all going on a nice big tab for her.
My cousin had the same kind of order years ago and I promise he got the hospital bill 30 days after getting out, so do you really think she won't, considering she's worth upwards of $40 million?
It's all a moot point, she needs help, hopefully she can get it, and get some modicum of normalcy back in her life, and move forward, and probably end up there again when the paparazzi once again gets her in their sights.
Had to laugh about the firm handshake
Our former pastor (okay, I can't seem to get away from religious topics and I promise this is not intentional)and his wife lived in Saudi Arabia several years ago while he trained race horses for kings (Not joking). His wife always gave a very firm handshake whenever she met someone new. There it seems to mean that the female is sexually attracted to the male whose hand she is shaking.
What breeds of little dogs? The names
are so cute for little ones!
Some puppies just take longer, and some breeds S/M
are sometimes know to be more of a challenge. It sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your local animal shelter could give you some help on this issue. Just like kids, they are a responsibility and will sometimes cause you some aggravation, but the love and happiness you get from her will outweigh the training period, I am sure. 
What are your favorite breeds of dog? I will name some of mine SM
Scottish Terrier, West Highland White Terrier, Greyhound, Ibizan Hound, Scottish Deerhound, Irish Wolfhound, Chihuahua, Schipperke, Dandie Dinmont. . . WOW. I gotta stop, but I could literally go on and on!
How true. It is such a shame for some of these breeds to all
be put in a category of being dangerous, etc. Like I stated in my post above in reply to the Pitbull in the Halloween costume some breeders play on some of the traits of the ones they feel will be more aggressive, larger, more muscle, etc. Then they breed them with another dog they feel has that potential, and so on. A responsible breeder who is concerned only for the well being of the dog and loves the breed will breed only the ones who do not display aggression or the potential for it. I once went to the house of a friend whose dad had a Doberman for years. The dog was there that night, and to be honest I was afraid. I entered the house cautiously to find that the dog was afraid of ME. She had a squeaky toy and lay under the chair all night playing with the toy. She was a thing of beauty. I will never forget her and I learned new respect and to do some reading and research before coming reaching conclusions.
The FIRM is great. I built 2 steps for it. nm

My dentist says SOFT toothbrush, never firm!
All these years, everyone thought stiff brushes were better than soft, and the harder and longer you brushed, the better. WRONG! I now have lots of cavity and root issues going on because I have essentially worn off much of the enamel on my teeth between the gumline and the center of the tooth. Have had to have more cavities filled, as well as lots of restorative work. Now I use a soft baby's toothbrush!
You'll lose weight & firm up doing ANYthing that you aren't currently doing

It's all a scam. All you need is a good, firm toothbrush - brush at least sm
for 2 minutes AND you have to floss every day if not almost every single day. Also, what keeps your mouth very clean are those whitening strips! Because it is loaded with peroxide, it actually keeps your gums and gumlines from developing bacteria that causes gingivitis.
I used to get canker sores and sores in my mouth ALL THE TIME. After I started whitening my teeth regularly I haven't had a sore since. I bit the side of my cheek the other week and NOTHING surfaced from it. For years and years every time I would bite my lip or cheek it would develop into a nasty sore. I thank those Crest White Strips for keeping my mouth clean!
Forgot to say that this is one of my very favorite breeds. So bright and beautiful. NM

Be firm and consistent, consistent, consistent.
