Liesl Wilhardt (founder of Luv A Bull) can't even handle a Chihuahua

2012-02-08T20:02:00.007-05:00

I would say it's pretty clear that the founder of Luv A Bull Rescue may not be the right choice of a knowledgeable "rescue" person to adopt your dog from. On an episode of "Dog Whisperer" she clearly demonstrated that she cannot train, control or "rehabilitate" an 8lb Chihuahua. The fact that she is adopting out pit bulls scares me. Said Chihuahua, named El Diablo, was rumored to be able to

More thoughts on regulation of dogs

2011-10-19T18:17:00.001-04:00

I would like to make a proposal for all States to regulate dogs over a certain weight unanimously across the board. Hear me out. Here is a short and sweet example: 1. All dog owners must register their dogs as they do now. 2. All
