NJ Meet up PICTURE HEAVY...

Discussion in 'Dog Discussion' started by maryellen1, Sep 9, 2007.

  1. :( I did not go...... I decided to stay local and walk a 5-month pup around the Hudson River line and in the festival.

    I hope you guys can do a repeat and I will bring some of my left over Stillwater collars to offer those that may be interested. Come to find out, that park is about 30 min from me. Glad to hear you all had fun. and....it was a hot and humid day indeed!

    hey mr. know it all..I dont appreciate being called a dumbass. You dont know me or my dog. In fact I think I know my dog way better than you do. Do you really think I would face off my dog in a public park?! Now I gotta defend myself to people that werent even there. The holier than thou attitudes of some members is getting tiring. They just cant wait to be the first ones to jump down someones throat before they have all the facts.

    First off..I was standing there minding my own business when the guy with the fawn/rednose walks his dog right up to mine. Now obviously this guy is a newb with a pet bull, hence the lame harness and plastic buckles. He had no idea that what he did could have been dangerous. Nevertheless, I pulled my dog away cause I dont want any accidents. By the way, I did bring my breaking stick and I know how to use it.
    Second of all if your gonna tell people to get a Stillwater collar you should at least know what one looks like. The orange collar IS a Stillwater collar! Not only that but I have a rope lead with a bull snap..I dont see anything wrong with that either. All the other dogs had proper gear. The brown & white dog had a leather collar, so did the other brindle dog. Mary Ellens dog had a good collar and rope lead. Do you think the shit zu should have a stillwater collar too? lol.

    hey Lockjaw.....maybe you should call Shane and ask if he thinks his orange collar will break.

    OK I'm done..this is my only post on this matter. I said my peace and I dont really care what any one else has to say about it.

    i agree with scratchin. and how come i cant edit my original post anymore?
     
  6. Hey D...I had my break stick in my treat bag....Beautiful picture of lass!
    BB I see where you are coming from, but I agree with D...folks know their dogs, and those folks do.
    We had dogs swimming in the water at the same time with no problems (all were on lead).

    Looks like scratchin dog was the only one from PA there! Looked like alot of fun!
     
  8. well i'm glad you could hold the pose long enough for at least 2 pics to be snapped. did you bother to educate the fool that wasn't a very smart idea? or did you just let it slide? if you would have taken the time to read i told maryellen i was referring to the crappy harnesses with plastic buckles and the shitty nylon leads with the shitty swivels from walmart/petco type places. so next time somebody wants to stroll up and face off dogs with you, why don't you react before the dog is nose to nose and then not stand there long enough to pose for a few cute pics. also, like i said already....read all the info before you lip off about the hardware. i made it perfectly clear what i was referring to.

    also, what about people who DON'T know any better? they see this and think it's ok to let their bulldogs face off. it's a terrible thing to show people to do. i see the pics in question have now magically been edited out. hmmmmmmmmmmm wonder why. obviously somebody doesn't want them seen now that it was pointed out.

    First off, it looks like everyone had a good time.

    Second, I think there is a right way and a wrong way to critique and educate people and this thread is a prime how NOT to. Please people, don't jump on others in this manner.

    Looks like ya'll had fun. :D I would never be able to take Scrappy to one of those. LOL

    Maybe before the next meet up you can make sure that everyone comes with the proper leads and collars. Make it a must when you plan it. For everyones safety and well being. Just a suggestion.

    And I have seen it so many times and have heard owners say "I can not believe he did that he has NEVER done that before" So NEVER get into that comfort one. When you do is when something can and will happen. And right now WE can not afford it.

    Yes we know our dogs but NEVER trust them not to fight. I had a similar situation at a show. I was holding my dog and someone was walking out the ring and not paying attention to his dog and his dog walked right up to mine. Thank God I was paying attention and snatched my dog away. But if I would not have been so quick it would have been ugly. I did not wait to see what would have happened.

    LOL,I could never do anything like that with my dogs either.Even if they didnt fight,they would find some way to embarass to the extent that I would have to go into hiding.I could just see Joe trying to hump everything that came near him,Geese included!

    I had to stop at Pet Smart one night when Scrappy was about 5 months old He was trying to get at every dog so I had to leave and take him home and go back and get what I needed. He still acts stupid on car rides if he sees anything that is furry and moves. I was riding down the road and passed a pasture with cows in it and he started going crazy. LOL What was even more funny is when he was about 11months old and my father and I went to a funiture store and they had a life sized statue of a bull and scrappy was trying to go at it through the car window. I had to have my dad park at the other end of the parking lot.

    As you can see Scrappy is a little special. But I love him.

    That's what I get for showing up late. I didn't get to see the face-off picture. Looks like a good time, though. I've gone to one or two things like that with Loki. And yeah, it can be nerve-wracking when people show up unprepared to handle their dogs, but I'd rather it happen in a Pit Bull-savvy group than to a layman's little poodle or something. At least in the former situation, you can offer "gentle advice."

    it took me a while to respond to all the posts here, as i wanted to be calm.. bahamutt the pics were taken down because of negative rep points given to the one owner, and the fact that it wasnt a potluck get together, it was planned by someone else.. the dog with the harness on had METAL buckles, not plastic as someone had originally stated, as i asked the owner what kind of buckles it had on.. the only other issue was the loose collars(which i have seen a bunch on dogs here as well) and that 2 pitbulls were nose to nose at the initial meeting.. none of the dogs that attended were out of line, and the nose to nose meeting while short and brief, was only done at the initial greeting.. its amazing to me how so many people jumped on this thread, yet i can go and post links to numerous posts here about dogs just dying in the yard, no vet care, dogs getting hurt due to owner carelessness, etc.. yes, something could have happened with the nose to nose meeting, but it didnt, we all know our dogs, and no one was "facing Off" their dogs. the only problem we had was a child that ran up to the dogs without asking to pet them first.. other then that there were no issues.. i could go off on numerous threads posted here about things more concerning then two dogs meeting nose to nose or collars that are loose, but i dont..
