Lord have Mercy - I started this thread as I thought it was funny because of all the misconceptions that have been on here about growling puppies and I guess I have started something. Sorry. That being said - Dale is just a typical little puppy testing the water so please everyone don't get the wrong impression that I have a little viciousness. Dale is a sweet little boy and his personality is coming out more every day. I would never spray with water, hang a puppy by the scruff of his neck or gently cuff a puppy's nose. I wish I could recall this thread.
