I would take it to the vets and have it's nuts chopped off! That takes a bit of the fire out of 'em for sure and will most likely make him much less likely to challenge your dominance. Won't effect his desire to crunch up ratty though.

Sounds as though the dog was in a very stressful situation and it was just too much for him. Don't think it's a shooting offense, at least not this time round. Watch him carefully and act accordingly. If it was an unprovoked attack then I would reccomend the lead injection or a variant of such, but it was a provoking situation.

Oh good grief......this is not a hormone issue..... this is a pack leader issue and one this dog may take even if he is neutered...... neutering ONLY makes him sterile, nothing more. The damn dog is in a stressful situation? did you just finish having a tree huggung session? This dog bit both his owners, he needs a boot in has ass! and a muzzle strapped to his face!......

well said autumnbriar its the biggest load of b*ll*cks ive heard to .after all it int the b*ll*cks that bite you

Sorry for this mate,you cant kennel them,especially the biter!.............. if it was me the muts would need to go, or get yourself a new pad and kennel them.Theres a chance it might be ok,but thats a chance i wouldnt take!!!in fact to tell you the truth buddie if my dogs attacked and drew blood unprovoked as much as i think the world of them that would be it,i wouldnt think twice they would be gone,just my opinion mind,good luck with this fella

guys many thanks for your thoughts on the matter, i have come to the decision to keep him and give him one last chance i have taken on board a lot of advice. the dog will NEVER be alone in the room with the baby. he will never be in the room with just my wife and baby until i have broken him to sudden noises alarms etc i also am going to train him further have arranged an expert recommended by the vets to come round and tell me where i amgoing wrong. i have also enrolled on a series of training classes. when looking back on the situation the dog firstly was acting protectively going for the t towel etc and the noise, secondly the dog acted in fear and went for me. this is in no way excusable. The dog has never acted in aggresion before to any human. I have allready had the dog neutered as a couple of months ago they were challenging each other for dominance. The lakey is definatly now the top dog. My flat is massive bigger than most houses so space isnt a problem. I fully understand how important it is to protect my newborn baby when she comes, the first sign of agression and the dog will go full stop. if he does not respond well to his new training i will rehome him. I do have the time and inclination to devote to this dog. Thanks oneredtrim for all your time and advise i will keep you updated with his progress.

Tend to agree, my kid sister was grabbed and shaken by the face by my nans Beardie, she had an eyelid removed, her nose peeled over and her face had to be stiched....is it worth the risk?

Just my experiences mate. No one has to take my advice but if they wish to, it's there.

Tree hugger? Not last time I checked. Not offering excuses for the dog or attempting to justify it's biting. Just throwing out ideas as to why it was set off.

Now lads, how about you brush up on your manners and refrain from needlessly insulting people, eh?

Kentlad - It seems everyone has a view on what should be done with the dog. It must have been a difficult weekend, what decision did you come to?

Kentlad only you can make the decision i had a similar situation except my male jrt was good as gold in the house , outside he was like tazmanian devil, in the end he bit a kid and the vet before he was pts , yis Jigger.

i would have the dog put to sleep mate.for it to bite you and your mrs whats to say the baby wont be next.dont take the risk no dogs worth the saftey of your family

i aggree with you tod , as far as i am concerned if a dog bites the hand that feeds it then that dog has to be put to sleep

 

Agreed and a swift size 10 up the arse !!

ffs lads who want to kill the fecking dog..........

 

hes already said he doesn't want to kill it, if anything wouldnt it be better to just give it to someone who will put the time into sorting it out, at the end off the day he will make his own mind up as to what to do

 

kill the dog kill the dog ffs.......

 

were you all there when this happened I am sure he will make the right decision on a judgement of what happened

IMO a dog that bites in fear is just as dangerous as a plain agressive dog: with a fear biter you never know just what may freak it out: a smoke alarm and a waving tea towel: I'd say that the dog has a very severe problem, especially if it was already used to living in a house and all the weird noises and things it sees and hears every day. Anything with a temperament problem that causes it to bite its owner is not worth risking: I'm afraid I'd have it PTS.
