I think the weight unit got mixed up. Should be 30lb.

Source to this?

Not that I'm keeping a GSD, but the whole breed banning thing is bad.
If they start with GSD today, who knows what breed they'll go after tomorrow. Rotties and dobermans probably. And then more.
We'll ended up only being allowed to keep poms and shihtzus and chihuahuas.

Really? You think it's good to punish good dog owners for the actions of bad dogs owner?

Eh last I heard, GSD is a guard dog too. You want to ban GSD too?

I can understand that owners want to cover some of the cost spent on their dogs, but to claim that people will abuse free dogs and only treat with care those they paid for, that is a total bull.

Just for the record, I'm okay with the selling of the dog.
I'm just not okay with the pretense of wanting the best for the dog through the wallet of the new owner.

My first dog was a mongrel adopted from the street, for free obviously. He was my brother and we cared for him a lot.

Training training training, for any breed of dogs

The answer is less in the breed of the dogs, but more in the training that you give to the dog.

I've seen a Golden Retriever, friendly, but doesn't know its size and strength. Will jump on you. Think that's a good dog for old people and kids?

My Doberman, trained to be friendly too, but doesn't jump on anyone. She'll go near you, and maybe rest her head on you.
She's even better with small kids. She'll walked pass by, obviously asking to be played with, but never initiate contact herself.

Adding on, I'm not saying that you should get a Doberman, but training is the key regardless of which breed.

What to do?
Nervous and unsocialized dogs are the definition of guard dog by most dog keeping Malaysians.

Environment is an issue, so when bring your dog out for a walk, don't let it run amongst the tall grasses.
Also, if there are start dogs around your neighbourhood, then there are bound to be ticks. Don't let them hangout near your house.

You'll have to do your part in your environment to get your dog ticks-free.
All dogs regardless of breed will be attacked by ticks if given the exposure.

Is this really a good form?

LOL, how did you come to that conclusion?

He's snobbishly saying that you guys are shallow and stupid for choosing a dog based on looks instead of temperament, and not realizing that the particular looks that you guys are so enamored with are actually unhealthy deformations bred.

Because Mudah is filled with puppy mill sellers.
