Daz’s owner, Peter Lucken, said the following about his dog’s bark, “It’s a powerful bark but I didn’t think it was that powerful…..he doesn’t do it excessively.” Lucken goes on to say, “To me his barking is just normal, run-of-the-mill dog barking.” Interestingly, his neighbors don’t feel the same way. As reported on the BBC News, Lucken’s neighbor Denise Parker said, “I hear him sometimes when I’m watching television, but he only barks when he hears someone and he’s trying to warn them away.” I guess that’s not such a bad thing to have a guard dog in the neighborhood that can alert all of the neighbors. If you think Daz is a vicious dog, think again. His owner reports that when the postal carrier puts the letters in Daz’s mouth (when the front door is open), Daz drops them in order to get a hug. Aw, how sweet but I wouldn’t let any would-be criminals know about the German Shepherd’s soft side.

State records show Brown has the largest class size kennel, which allows her to keep more than 250 dogs a year. In July, dog wardens recorded 84 dogs on the property and 192 dogs sold or transferred in 2007. Many of her adult dogs live inside her ranch house, said Brown, as she showed a reporter around her property, which includes two indoor dog pools. Several dozen dogs live in outside pens surrounding the house with access to utility sheds or dog houses. Meanwhile, pro-adoption advocates, who appear to have prevailed in an argument with breeders over whether Obama should purchase or adopt a dog, are angry that Biden would choose to buy one. "We are surprised that Sen. Biden chose to purchase a dog from a commercial kennel since he has been a leader on animal-protection issues and has championed a number of important animal-welfare reforms in the Senate," said Michael Markarian, executive vice president of the Humane Society of the United States. "President-elect Obama can send a stronger message of hope and change for animals by adopting a homeless dog from an animal shelter or rescue group."
She added: "He is an advocate for rescuing animals, as shown by his rescue of the Biden's current cat, Daisy, from a local shelter." Contact staff writer Amy Worden at 717-783-2584 or aworden@phillynews.com.

GSDs in the News: Nubs is reunited with Marine owner
F-18 pilot returns home to canine friend from Iraqi war zone By Kristina Davis UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER 5:22 a.m. March 22, 2008 They spent months in an Iraqi war zone cementing a special bond. But after more than a month of being apart, Marine Maj. Brian Dennis began to worry if Nubs the dog would still remember him, especially in a new place like San Diego. Their reunion early Saturday at Camp Pendleton clearly showed otherwise. The 2-year-old old dog, named for his two nubby ears, drenched Dennis' face with doggie kisses and said hello with excited whimpers. “You remember that, huh?” Dennis said as he rubbed the dog's head. Dennis, an F-18 pilot stationed at Miramar Marine Corp Air Station, was among several Marines to return home from a seven-month tour in Iraq early Saturday. Among those who also returned was a group that fell in love with seven puppies and also had them brought back to San Diego. They plan to reunite with their new dogs at 3 p.m. at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. Nubs, a German shepherd/border collie mix, came to San Diego a month earlier after friends, family and complete strangers raised $3,500 for the dog's trip out of Iraq. “It's almost like 'Lassie Come Home' in Iraq,” said Dennis' mother, Marsha Cargo, who anxiously waited for the unit's arrival in the wee hours of the morning. Dennis met Nubs in the Al Anbar Province where the dog ran wild at an Iraqi Border Fort. When Nubs was a puppy, an Iraqi sliced off most of his ears in an attempt to make the dog tough and more alert. Another time, Nubs was stabbed with a screwdriver, and Dennis nursed him back to health. When Dennis' unit, the Border Transition Team, moved camp 70 miles away, Nubs somehow tracked them to their new location two days later. It was against the rules to keep the dog in camp, and friends jumped in to bring Nubs to San Diego. “Once he found us there, it seemed like this was supposed to have happened,” Dennis said Saturday. “After he walked all that distance, it seemed like he was supposed to end up in San Diego.” For the past month, Eric Sjoberg, one of Dennis' Marine buddies, has been caring for Nubs along with Dennis' other dog, Bogey. Nubs has also been learning new tricks and how to behave in a different environment with some help from a dog trainer. “After running two years out in the desert, he's got a personality on him,” Sjoberg said. Dennis said his first outing with Nubs will be a jog on the beach. “It will consummate the whole journey, going from the sand of Iraq to the sand of San Diego.”
