Hot tub ordered....need to get the 220v run soon

New?

Not that it helps you, but I know a guy that sells refurbs. Sometimes only 1-2 years old or otherwise in perfect condition. Smokin deals and he'll warranty them for a time depending on price/age.

Yo Brutal...how's things?

I've been thinking when I get down to AZ....I'm gonna get a dog. Been thinking a lot about spending some dough and getting one trained for defense. Research in and all, I know what I don't want, and boiled it down to German Shepard or Belgian Malinois. Think I'm gonna go Belgian Malinois.

I originally wanted an Aussie Shepard, but from what I've researched, the Belgian is really more of what I'm looking for when push comes to shove.

Why? You're able to acquire an AZ ccw permit if you feel the need. But not necessary as you can carry w/out a permit in Az. I'd adopt a rescue dog, take a few classes with it and call it good.
I'm in the minority when it comes to training dogs where you give it to someone else to do so. Once you do so, that's 1 more person who has control over your dog, besides you.
Unless you believe there's a real or potential threat that requires a guard dog, pass.

That is a great point, and with merit.

Yes, I can shoot you when I'm in peril.....IMO it is also another versatile deterrent to have an intelligent dog who can defend home and property, but also chew your ass at my command if something else goes awry, or I get injured...the dog can still neutralize the threat. Two against one is always a better ratio.

I also realize the cost of the animal first, then the training, and then everything else after that for 10 to 12 years. I am a dog guy, but in my previous situation couldn't have one....could have here at this house, but didn't. If I'm going to invest the time and money in the animal in the first place, I'm going to load it up and get an animal that is not only companion, but utility as well.
Yeah I can do basic obedience training myself, I can also have a professional do it and get the benefit from the outcome that I could not provide myself.

It might turn out years down the road that perhaps it was investment that wasn't necessary, but even in that case I still have a buddy that is always ready to rip your gonads off with one command.
