It's the protein Sorry guys, I gotta disagree. It's the protein. When we rope we feed hot (high protein). If you feed hot and don't run your horse, he'll be really jumpy. If you feed too hot, he'll run right past the steer and they're hell to hold on to. Just a change in feed and they'll...

From a law enforcement agent. Well first of all, It was a barbadoe lamb (kinda looks like a goat), they are tan and black. The Deputy told me it was goats, but he pointed at a lamb! haha. And we live in the middle of sheep and goat country. As far as shooting in the leg. The agency I...

for ssleighter Ssleighter, I jus saw pics of hammer. He looks just like Chavez used to. Something new, apparently the Sheriff's Office thinks Mia is dead! I don't know how since I told a deputy that I "stole" her back from the Vet's office that was supposed to put her to sleep.

Me again Thanks for the website. Yes, Mia is still here, she finally went outside and played with the kids. She USED to be an outdoor dog. Not anymore, the Sheriff's Department still says she must be put down. She'll only go out if one of us is there.

Still fighting in del rio sorry if i'm not able to respond to everyone's replies. Ya'll can rest assured that I am taking all the advice to heed and am not stopping until, well I don't know when. I don't care about a public apology nor any money. I just want them to say "ok, we were wrong."

Me again! The deputies said they don't know who made the call. I don't even know if the owner knows about it yet as the Sheriff's Office is not going to look for him because there was no damage to anything! As far as e-mail goes, we're in west Texas, I don't know if the S.O. has e-mail. It...

yes, get a hold of me! That website won't help, because the city and County are totally separate and this happened way out of the city limits. Say whatever you'd like!

Yet another update on Chavez and Mia. I am sending this to the local paper! On Monday March 1, 2003, two sheriff’s deputies shot my dogs for attacking some livestock. I was told the male boxer was killed on site, yet I found him about 7 yards from my back fence. There is no livestock in...

Ok More Updates. I think the calling might help, except I live outside of the city limits. Mia is alive and well. I can't say how I got her back just yet, but I am at war with the Sheriff's Department. I still have not been able to attain a copy of the incident report. Apparently someone...

Thanks for all the prayers. Here is the latest. The Sheriff's Department says that Mia MUST be put down, because she attacked an animal. I don't know how they describe "attack". There were no bites or physical damage. I hate to do this, since I am a Federal Agent, but they will have to...

My boxer was killed today (Chavez) and our other boxer (Mia) was shot in the leg. The Sheriff's Department shot them. They said they had a call about some dogs killing a goat. They told me that when they got there they saw my dogs knocking down a little goat, no bite marks on it. They shot...

I am a Border Patrol Agent and the Patrol uses only German Shepherds and Belgian Malinois. I believe it is because of their drive. They can work all day and it get's awful hot down here on the Rio Grande. As far as males, I'm not sure there, the handlers here use both. I should also mention...

I've been reading alot on here, ('bout every day). There is so much information many of you have on natural foods, nutrition, protein, etc. I wonder how accurate you are. I look at most of your pictures, and you don't look very healthy. Sorry, but maybe some of us ought to look at our health...

OLD SCHOOL I say go positive reinforcement, but if that does not work, let the other dogs put him in his place. It's part of the pecking order. Down here on the farm, there is always an Alpha dog. Many "fights" but I have never seen blood, I wouldn't let it get that far. Good Luck smashicon

USA!! Ruidoso, New Mexico Glacier National Park Montana and Southwest TEXAS (of course) :cool:
