Really dumb thing to say!
You were giving your dog as a xmas present so not what I would call ideal circumstances and you clearly have a breed you are struggling to control so quite frankly where I am in your estimations doesnt really concern me.
But when I am out there giving 24/7 to a rescue and trust me longer hours than a full time job I will get on my blimmin high horse when I feel people are making out rescues always have issues and going to attack your family and dogs. As it narks me beyond belief people who have no idea come on sites gobbing of about something they know diddly about.

but I dont really think Ramble has asked for a trial, more of a home meeting, nothing wrong in that is there!
kcjack... some of us lesser people who have quoted on this thread.... take the dogs the rescues cant cope with! where does that put us....
assuming the comments about people sittion on the web having a view were aimed at all of us?

It is about assessing each case on its own...treating each dog and potential adopter as individuals.
Yes, agreed - the exception does prove the rule though

My comment are aimed at people who have made comments "you can never trust a rescue" "never trust them with my kids" ect ect. We get the odd rescue with issues but they are a minority and its hard enough persuading people rescues are great without people considering it reading certain threads and being put of.

I think people can get to hung up on a word on forums, from what I see, you just wanted to make sure all was well, its more like a day out for the rescue dog, no harm in that, its not like your asking for much,.
im only on post 101 on the other thead but geez..... hun you cant do right for doing wrong in some peoples eyes.... hugs...
