So, as I stated in a previous post, my boyfriend and I have been watching his brother's dog until he can get re-established and back on his feet.. Not a problem. The thing is, we've had him for damn near three months now.. Not a problem, except the fact that he's given us money to provide him with food maybe 3 times? But anyway thats a whole different subject

I was talking to the brother, and he had told me he was coming to get his dog on Friday. I made a joke about how I'm sure his dog will be excited to get away from my jerk of dogs (my dogs do not like his dog). Now I've done pretty good to keep them seperated, and prevent any fights between our dogs and his, which I have been successful at, its just my dogs I have to keep from fighting, whole different subject. Anyway, the brother asks why will his dog be excited to get away from our dogs, and I tell him that he's mostly been really submissive when my dogs tend to get on his case, which in my mind is a good thing because our dogs were there before his, and his dog doesn't need to think that he's above our dogs. Anyway.. (keep in mind, I already don't like my boyfriend's brother, I've never heard one good thing about him before I met him, and from personal experience, he's REALLY not the nicest person around) after I tell him that his dog is very submissive towards mine, he tells me (exact words) "thats crazy.......i will make harley meaner but not retarded mean he will start bein a protector" SERIOUSLY?! I was at a fricking loss of words when he said that to me. Am I seriously wrong for wanting to punch him in the face for this comment? I know its not my dog and I have no say in what he does.. but seriously.. (Oh, and just as a side note, he gives his kids a hard time, pushes him around, etc to make them "tougher", and he also did this with my boyfriend when they were growing up to make him "tougher" except he'd beat the living crap out of him, have his friends jump him, etc. which is why I dont like him in the first place). I REALLY don't want to give this dog back knowing that he's going to make him "meaner". I know its not my dog and I can't do a damn thing about it.. I needed to vent... Any opinions, suggestions?

Not alot you can do it is his Dog you could try and reason with him but does not sound like that will work if he abuses the dog you can call and report him but then you may cause issues with family. So your kinda in a tough spot

Count to 10 and walk away. Sometimes there are just too many messes to clean up.

[7HlBQS8j]

We cant win every fight or fix every dog owner so pick the ones you can and use your energy towards that

You could try telling him that trying to make it meaner will just make it hate him and less likely to protect him, more likely to attack him. Tell him that the dog lacks confidence and if he is tough on it, he will break its spirit and make it a nervous wreck.

It could work, but I doubt it.

I doubt it too.. He's one of the biggest idiots I've ever met.

I know he got the dog from the same breeder we got ours, and I know she does the co-owns, but I'm not sure if he bought the dog out right or got the co-own... I could always call and find out and make the breeder aware of it.. But that could cause family problems too, well, MORE family problems...

but not retarded mean

Is your brother 10 years old? WTH is "retarded mean?"

I don't know I think he's the one thats a little slow. He seriously makes me so mad I want to say words not acceptable in this forum.

[NEWyear]

He's one of the biggest idiots I've ever met. I think this is the most poignant comment. History tells me you just can't fix stupid.

I wish you somehow could.

[ImmitsRom]

Did you smack him upside his head and ask him what he was thinking?

Sucks you have to deal with him at all, but being family... send him to this site. We'll set him straight.

I just love that little picture. I wish I could use it

He's really just one of the most closed-minded, ignorant people I've EVER met. Luckily he's not MY brother, he's my boyfriends, and if my boyfriend wasn't so sensitive and emotional as he is, I wouldn't think twice about doing something to prevent him from having that dog. But, its my boyfriends big brother and for SOME stupid reason he looks up to him

[Desflahd]

jsut push your "ignore" button.. it sounds like the only realistic option you have....

CaponeBrinks I have a inlaw that is a piece of something and they really piss me off they breed dogs and do not really take care of them IMHO. Marlo was a dog they had gotten to be a stud and I ended up buying him from them because we felt sorry for the puppy he was only 6 weeks old at the time and I know what his life would have been like. Not as bad of conditions as some puppy mill but still not acceptable in my opinion but according to the law I guess they are. These dogs have one purpose make puppies. I have talked to them until I am blue in the face they do not get it. They see nothing wrong with what they are doing

The only thing for you to do is try to educate him. Check up on the dog once in awhile and hope for the best. Does he live close to you, so that you can visit the dog?

Sort of.. But this lame-excuse of a person has MULTIPLE warrents out for his arrest, not to mention the different amounts of drugs he'd have throughout the house... And its not at all something I want to get caught up in if the cops happen to stop by while I'm there checking on poor Harley, and this douche-nozzle has drugs all over.

[usaguedriedax]

I'd suggest saying he abandoned the dog for 3 months.. and fight for it (if he has warrants, he wont want the cops involved.. not to mention id doubt theyd believe he was providing and visiting the dog), but then hed just get another one and could/would cause problems with the family.. in our state - who has possession - owns the dog.. unless a report was made of theft (then you'd have to prove they came into your home to steal the dog), but the problems it will cause on the family, not to mention how *mean* will he make his next dog to piss you off.. could be far worse than this.. you know him better than I do, but you just have to do what you feel is right!

*sigh*.. Yeah.. And the only thing I'm afraid of, is if I DO something about it, he'll take out his frustrations on my boyfriend, because he knows I AM NOT afraid to kick his ass and knows plenty well that I can and will do it. So I think I might just be sneaky about it, and let the breeder know whats going on and what was said and see if he's doing the co-own or bought him outright. I know part of the contract everyone has to sign with her states that she can and will remove the dog if she feels they are not being taken care of properly, or if the co-owner fails to keep in contact with her, amongst other things too of course... So I'll go about it that way possibly, and at least make her aware of it..

[IdomeoreTew]

I think you should siot him down next time he says something like that and tell him HE can't make the dog meaner. Even if he beats the dog every day its not gonna get meaner. And if he wants a "protector" he has to be super nice to it so vit will love him and want to protect him.
Or just take the dog and tell him he can't have it back and if he starts crap, you'll call the cops.

Nope, you can't fix stupid.

[drugstore]

Oh man, maybe I am just not a nice person...when it comes to any "bully look" dog I get into mode! I cant let some idiot ruin it for everyone else. I would do what Alma said, send him here and he will learn what this breed ISNT for!

[Pypeassesty]

If there are warrants out for his arrest, can't you make the cops aware of where he is. If he goes to jail, he doesn't get his dog back right?
