When adopted by dog owners that understand the breed, what unique training they require, and are prepared to put in the leadership, time and energy these breeds require, they can be wonderful dogs.  Dr. Roger has unfortunately observed all too often that people purchase working dog breeds for the wrong reasons and are grossly unprepared to deal with them...which leads to bas consequences for the owner, the dog, and the veterinary health professionals that have to work with the dog.
