I don't consider myself "PWT" but I'm "awful fond of my dawgs." I quit showing dogs years ago and now rather than look at papers and pedigree, I'm more often influenced by "kill date" at the pound.. Last two dogs I simply sat on the floor at the shelter and "bonded."
Just like I use intuition when I purchase a piano and to some extent a car, if you're a "dog person" you'll be able to tell if it's right. Litigious people? I was told years ago not to put a "beware of dog" sign up for that suggests liability. The only place I have a warning sign "Beware of Dog" is the property where I don't HAVE a dog.
