My roommate said it perfectly and interestingly enough, she is not a dog person. Looking for an A-dog is like looking for a mate. It is true, I will be with my future hearing dog 24 hours a day. We have to work with each other day in and day out. This dog has to have the right working qualities that is required or we will get divorced quite quickly.
Aggressive dogs can lead to serious liabilities.
It is very important to have a sound dog and this is extremely important for dogs that will have public access. We also have to not let our attachment haze up our decision to not accepting this dog as an A-dog. These are hard decisions to make, but also the responsibility of self training. Meaning, we can't just chose any dog without proper selection and say if we work hard enough, this dog will work. Some dogs just can't be A-dogs.
