JPTfellterrier 65 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 hmmm its up to you but if he is being vicous to people and is a big lad then i think it would be for the best to put him down or maybe you could sell him as a guard dog Link to post

undisputed 1,664 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Any dog aggressive to people is a liability and unless you know how to curb or stop it will only cause you greif.....passing it on to someone else wont solve the prob unless they have experience in curing this problem. It's bad enough being aggressive toward other dog's but people it's a no no in my book....personally I would have it put down but it's your call. Link to post

Guest miller1989 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 yeah i would put it down if mine with kids around,but your situation could be different to all of ours its down to you! Link to post
collie/grey 238 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I would pts, it may sound harsh, but dog aggressive you can cope with, human aggressive you cannot, he is a liability, what if he gets hold of a child? He should not be given away or sold, that's giving someone else all the problems to deal with. Being a bull x also, bull breeds have enough bad press already without it being added to if he did something to a human. Link to post

I think unfortunately you know the answer, and need support to go through with it. You have made the right choice. It is not fair on the animal or your family to leave the situation as is.

undisputed 1,664 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 Just read the bit were you say you'd backed down from the dog because it growled at you....that should be it no question you cant have a situation were the dog thinks it's the gaffer. Take it to the vet or get someone to do it for you. Link to post
