don't discount a dogs ability to judge people. iv'e had a few through the years & can tell you they can. every lab I've had has exhibited this trait. most reciently my gal exhibited a strong distrust of a cable-man. never seen her angry at anyone, loves kids. the most gentle thing. got her as a pup & she's seen nothing but love but she wanted to tear this guy a new ass.
first lab, ABBY, loved everyone, watched over my boys when they were young. nothing got by her. only happened a couple of times but she set herself between my boys & others with teeth drawn. set her self infront of the wife at times.
my boy brought home a friend once that my dog didn't like(out of all of them it picked this kid) told the son not to be around this guy & don't allow him at the house. that boy ended up in juvy.
every dog iv'e had has exhibited this trait & I will trust my dogs intuition.
Ill trust my dogs.

Phishis groovin this is not aimed at you.  I feel for you, a rambunctious dog and a adamant wife are a tough situation. 

This is more meant as irony towards so many different comments from well intended but what many may believe are over zealous dog lovers. 

Interesting way of looking at things...I need to give away a dog because I can't take care of it.  But since I really like the dog I'm only going to "give" it away for a price, not actually sell it, just making sure that the new "parents" have a financial commitment to raising the dog I can't/won't raise anymore.  Since I made a rash decision and acquired a dog I can't care for I will insist on a home visit where I will decide if you can do what I was unable to do.  After requesting 19 references and a DNA sample to test for the elusive dog lover chromosome I will evaluate your property and foretell the future in order to determine if you might one day move to a home and raise the pet I can't raise.   A color photo of the "rehomed" "parent's" fenced yard must be provided to prove that they have a twelve foot African game fence that will prevent the beloved rambunctious pet from doing what he does at my house now, which is run around like a wild beast.   If you believe in kenneling, dog parking or other "really mean" ways of raising your/my dog I might not want to give him to you for a price. Of course we'll seal this deal with a binding contract that allows me to step in at any time in the next ten years and intervene on behalf of your/my pet and rehome him in a more deserving familiy's dwelling, assuming of course they can meet the following criteria...  LOL http://hunting-washington.com/smf/Smileys/default/chuckle.gif

 :yeah:

That's good stuff and wildly accurate.

There are people in my apartment complex who took in a dog that has been "rescued" six times prior because nobody was willing to really take care of him.  This friggin dog barks and howls constantly and chews like his teeth are growing too fast.  Well they've been served a notice and the "poor puppy" has to go but they're only going to give him to the "best home". 

Here's a question, if you have the "best home" why would you want a dog like that?  :dunno:
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.
