yea it was a HUGE problem here in NH about 10 years ago... the dogs coming in were OUT OF CONTROL, sadly though the breed is also prone to deafness which didnt help as well as Hyperuricemia ( Im SURE I spelt that wrong lol, can cause kidney stones) and the pain involved in passing stones would make anyone go nutty.

I looked into fostering dogs at one point (hell I already forester kiddos, add a few more crazed animals to the house~ why not lol) but without a yard I was rejected, understandable but still svxed
