Time to deal with our OES problem
It's time to get rid of him. I had planned on bringing him to the shelter, but now prefer to euthanize him do to the shelters being filled up. Any other options? Please advise. Thanks, George C  in Hamilton Beach. |

| George,
I'm sorry your experience with an OES hasn't been positive. I have had mine for a little over a year also and she has become a much loved part of our family. Please don't euthanize your dog, there are other options. There are OES rescue organizations throughout the country whose purpose is to take dogs such as yours and find them new homes. If you go to go to the following link you can find information on how to contact any of the rescue organizations. Although your dog did not work for your family, he many be perfect for a family who is familar with the breed and is just waiting for a dog like him - please give him that chance. Here's the link: http://64.66.182.253/neoesr.htm Please let me know if you need any other information. Ann Long Island NY |
| I'm sorry but I'm a little appalled that you want to *kill* a dog because he poops, chews and knocks things and kids over! Did you expect the dog to just "know" all the rules and to have little turds coming from a large breed? Come on! What have you been doing to train him? It has nothing to do with breed and lots to do with the right kind of training for the dog's personality. I don't know how old your kids are (and I am very sorry they got knocked over and hurt) but big dogs usually shouldn't be around little kids, unless you're always going to be around them to prevent accidents, and are willing to train the dog and the kids on how to act around each other.
With him rushing the gargage door: what have you done to train him *not* to rush when the garage door is opening? Odor can come from the food you're feeding him. Often changing to a superior quality food or even feeding the dog "human" or raw food will eliminate the odor (and this will often make the stools smaller); he could have allergies. I'm sorry for being rude but you're putting all the blame on the dog and are going to kill it just for acting like a dog! There are people here who have just lost their sheepies, and I hope they haven't read your post. There are lots of things that can be done with this dog but I gather from your post that you're not going to be willing to work with the dog. Please get the dog to a rescue organization where they'll match him up with someone who will take the time to train him. Here's a direct link to rescue organizations: http://www.neoesr.org/oes-nat.htm Again, sorry for being rude but I'm really upset with the thought of killing the dog for such reasons. Suzanne |

| I didn't say we wanted to *kill* the dog. The shelters are full and I posted here to find alternatives to euthanizing. The shelter itself recommended the euthanizing route for legal reasons. They say we are required by law to divulge whether or not the dog has injured a child, and he has, even though it was an accident. They are prohibted by law to facilitate adoption of such an animal.

| And yes, my child is okay (broken arm). Thanks for asking. Perhaps you would prefer I punish my child for allowing himself to be knocked over by the OES.

| "George",
I don't know what your real story is, but best as I can tell, you're posting from Dallas, Texas. You've posted 24 times (21 as of last night, before the 3 from today) from the same IP address. You've posted an email address on this website, and you've corresponded with me directly by email; the email came from the exact same cable-based IP address, and gave quite a different set of names than George. You've posted other stories about dog(s) that were in trouble and having difficulty in being placed. While anonymity is cherished and encouraged here, abuse of it isn't. |
