That's not my experience with them, and I did have one.
Sharp...yes. Stinky breath... also yes. Unwashable oily stank, not mine. He washed up nicely. EDIT: Maybe the oily stink is why the goat keeps licking?!?
True enough, like with most smart dogs, most of them are owned by people that never work them, and that makes for a neurotic dog. When given a job they understand they can be great, loyal, patient, and loving. Great for farms and ranches, not so good for apartments and lazy people. So, "never see the full potential of in the U.S." is an exaggeration, "rarely" would be a better word to use.

As for your look, what I'm looking for is removal of the insulting, vilifying, often outrageous and vulgar additions to your point. They make it difficult if not impossible to actually consider your point because it's obscured by attack and nastiness. Because you have gone so far overboard with that in the past, many of us here have little tolerance for it from you now, and may even read it into your posts at times. That means to avoid the attacks back, you need to make an effort to not antagonize others for no reason. Try reading your posts before posting them, and consider how you would react if they were written about you or yours. Also, perhaps consider that your mother may read your posts and act accordingly, that alone would probably make you look incredibly better to all, and make discussions with you more positive....at least I would hope so.
Your response here was a good example of what I'm looking for, you disagreed, but did so relatively respectfully....thank you. If you could do that regularly, without devolving into 'flapping your sloppy c*nt lips' types of descriptions of others and their ideas, I would never complain, and many others would be grateful.
Being nasty doesn't help your argument and doesn't make your post clever or interesting, it detracts from it and eventually from yourself and only makes you look bad, at least that's my feeling about it in a nut shell....thanks for asking!
