>Hi To All,
>There is a man named Roger Slyker or Skyler from MN. He has called me
>several times. He thought he wanted a Borzoi to protect his heard of Elk
>till convinced him a Borzoi was NOT what he really wanted. But, in talking
>with him SEVERAL times now, I have come to the conclusion and this is my
>opinion, he would likely NOT be a suitable owner for ANY dog!!! Actually
>came to that conclusion early in our second conversation after he told he
>he Got Rid of his last dog. At that point, I didn't want to know how he
>"got rid" of the dog. He talks about "mastering" the dog. I have a strong
>feeling what THAT means!!
>
>This Guy is crude to say the very least. I am being polite here folks.
>Now, for some reason he has decided it is MY duty to find him a dog, maybe
>a Pyr.
>
>So, PLEASE, cross post this to ALL lists you belong to far and wide!!!
>This man IS bad news. Had no clue what a companion dog was, why would he
>want a dog as a companion. Now, I understand that working, Herding dogs
>are NOT companion dogs. They have a job, take it seriously, do it
>willingly and well but I trust my gut when it tells me this man would have
>NO problem beating any dog into submission for the slightest infraction of
>His rules and would "get rid" of one that was not exactly to his liking and
>did not perform exactly as he expects and demands. He also expects one dog
>to be able to protect his heard from any pack of Coyotes or what ever else
>may come along including Mountain Lions.
>
>So, PLEASE DO cross post this far and wide!!!
