Adam is a friend of mine. I used to go to training from Nashville all the time. Who are the parents?
-
I’m friends with the person @peejman recommended. He helped me get my boy, see avatar.
Make no mistake, there will be lots of training needed if you go this route. It’s fun, though. My guy is a perfect gentlemen and lays on his back under the covers with my two young daughters. He will not let a stranger between him and them. Although, he will lick anyone who will let him until there is an act of aggression. Then with the command he will straight eat you. I can tell him to do just about anything, to include climbing a ladder and walking on the roof. Getting down didn’t go so smooth, though.
You need to decide if you want a dog that looks scary or really is scary. Without training and testing, I can guarantee you that it won’t protect when pushed. Everyone thinks they have a watch dog until it gets kicked in the face. Most don’t even need contact to be punked out. The willingness to stay in the fight is something that’s bred into dogs and can’t be just trained. I’ve seen very expensive dogs retreat when pressed by a serious threat.

Are you suggesting it shouldn’t be a news story? He was very well liked and an incredibly smart man. I have had some interaction due to my profession. He also was the cardiologist to some of my friends and family. I’m not sure I understand your issue. MVA’s happen all the time, a gun range death is far more rare.

Costco has an instant rebate on the one they sell right now. Ive been trying to talk myself out of it.

Speer Gold Dots have been my go to .45 carry since 2003 or so.

Cheapest and easiest option is to use fastenal. I shipped 1500lbs of car parts on a pallet from jersey to here for $300.
Off road world uses them a ton. You just put a request in on the web. They contact you with an estimate. You sign and return. Your seller deoos it off. Has to be palletized. You’re charged by weight and distance. Not sure how cheap it gets for light weight stuff.

Dang, I think I’m going to miss out on this one. I can’t in good conscience slip this one by the Wifey. I’m already thousands over my annual toy budget and it will take me another three weeks to have enough pocket change. I give myself $100 a week to blow on BS that I could do without. I wish I had seen this a couple of weeks ago.

I’ve had horrible service at town and country, as well as, Mid Tenn truck. After the experience with our Flex, I’ll never own another Ford. I say a little prayer to put a hex on Ford every night.

Could be in for a magic depending on the changes. Would love the damascus version but probably too much $$ to risk for carrying. Everything I own leaves the house and gets used.

This thread is making me sick to my stomach. I have 5 and 7 year old daughters. There are already tech savvy, and I’m already having to fight back the cell phone request from the oldest. It’s an easy “NO”, but is just the beginning. I absolutely dread these upcoming trials for my life, and wish you the best of luck.
As a former miscreant, you probably only know a portion of the story. Stay involved and stay close. Good work, dad.

Oops just realized there was another page. You picked a good one, I do love my full size strider.

My recommendation would be the Protech Magic Whiskers.
I wear a suit daily, and I clip a Magic to the inside pocket of my jacket. That’s my vote. You’ll always have a conversation piece if you have time to kill. No ones opened mine yet.

Didn't see another thread yet

Dont see much in the way of deterrents. I guess they moved because this doesn't look familiar.

I wish that I had gotten in on the sale/rebate. I got caught snoozing in this one.

Regional Director for a medical equipment service company with about 50 local engineers that report to managers who report to me. Graduated with a MBA and no clue what to do. Luckily found this company which has been a rocket ship in the last six years.
Prior to going back to school, I worked for a company that built cars for celebs and ultra rich. All of our builds were over $100K without the cost of car. I was a project manager and was one of few who took cars home before delivery. We had to test before we sent back to Saudi Arabia and other countries. We did Restomods, exotics, and drag cars. The shop now builds cars for top speed too. I believe they hold the record for rear wheel drive top speed in a viper.

I would probably be in. Don't understand the hate for Microtech knives. I have a couple automatics that I really like, including a Combat Troodon. Nothing bad to say about either, but the phone support left some to be desired.. SHe was kind of a butthead.

Take Sitar in Nashville off the list. It is the opposite of what you are looking.

Hate to miss this one, but i like the darker handled models. I am sure I will be jealous when they ship.
I sure wish these were OTF.

Love this knife. Probably already one of my faves.

I think you were good to go. I have had many dog encounters while riding and running around Nashville. Usually, if you show aggression toward the mutt they will back off. My first move is a deep, loud yell. Next move is to move toward the threat and hopefully it retreats.
I don't think waiting to pull would have been the right thing to do. If the dog was intent on attacking, you weren't going to get another chance.
I have a protection trained Dutch Shepherd, and if he was unleashed and charged, I would expect that he would get shot. Luckily, there is no way in hell he would move toward someone unless they presented an act of aggression.
Good on you for not jumping the proverbial gun and ruining the day for everyone involved.

Was there more thought put into the welding? I've done some mig and tig building various turbo cars, but I'm not comfortable on thinner gauge stamped steel. Good penetration without blowing through it is a fine line on small stuff.
Still interested.

PayPal credited me today. It was not from his account since it was a PayPal account credit. When they refund from a vendor it goes back into my bank account instead of a paypal credit.
-
Still no refund through PayPal. Seems as though this piece of trash is not responding so it will drag out. I used my bank account to fund the purchase, so PayPal is the only option.
I hope karma steps up to the plate for this guy.
Good Farm/Family Dog

Apollo is a good dog. I’d take a pup from him and I’m pretty picky these days. I lucked into the dog I have now, and was connected to the breeder/trainer through Adam. I’ve learned a lot since then and and have been around some extremely high end imports here in Middle TN. I’d still take an Apollo offspring for sure.
Good luck with the basics and stay focused. I’m jealous and sure wish I had another pup to train. Mine spent the first 5-6 months with the breeder, and all the puppy stuff was down for me. Once I got him and started training, I was obsessed for the first year and a half. It paid off in spades. I had thought I had good dogs in the past, but didn’t realize what was possible with a dog of the caliber such as these. Put in the time now and be consistent.
The only other tip that I would give is to involve the whole family in the training. I did not and suffered due to that mistake. I have had complete control and impressive obedience for quite some time, but when I was out of town the wife and kids would have small issues. Not getting in the crate on demand or chewing up something like a pen or a small piece of plastic. I would hear about these things happening and it would blow my mind because he would never do something that out of line when I’m around. My 8yo daughter has always been second in charge, but still did not have complete obedience. We just recently fixed that problem but it’s been three years. If your family doesn’t participate and assert a dominant role, they will have trouble with being in control.
Oh yeah, pony up for one of the crates that Adam will likely recommend. They don’t sell crates at a big box store that will contain the full grown monster that you’re raising.
