THIS should be funny. He absolutely HATES to wear his glove. That's not too important for baseball tho right? hehehe.... I feel bad for his coach, honestly I do. But if he can tame the wild beast he'll have a huge, natural southpaw on his hands that's strong as an ox...lol.

Posted to: Choosing A Dog
Just curious to see everyone's opinion on what breed they consider to be the most efficient guard dog under 50lbs. besides a APBT. I vote the standard schnauzer as a good contender.
