[QUOTE="retrieverman, post: 3643086, member: 24452"] Ok, I see what you’re getting at now. In my opinion, if you give any pet a good and comfortable life, I don’t believe you would be doing them a disservice even if they’re not necessarily doing what they’re bred for. My Boykin is a classic example. She comes from duck hunting parents, but I believe my son (who was used to training hard headed male Labs) was too rough on her as a pup when he tried to train her. She ended up being gun shy and very skiddish. I’ve been able to get her over the gun shyness, but she still cowers when she comes up to me like she’s done something wrong. I’m still trying to love this out of her and build her confidence. She’s a great dog and extremely loyal. [/QUOTE]
