you done the right thing , better then passing that gene about

[stealthy1 3,964]

A dog like that would be no good to me, if you cant turn your back on it to do something else? how many times has someone just appeared from nowere when your out in the field, if they have a kid or a smaller dog you could wind up in court and banned from keeping animals, or worse.

Hard as it is, you have definitely done the right thing all round. no dog is happy in a constant state of confrontation , you were not happy and others around you werent happy. breeding him would have been the height of irresponsibility with that temperament, and passing him on wouldnt have made his life better....dogs like that get passed on and on leading miserable insecure loves until they are pts. You have done the right thing and well done to you for doing so.

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.

 

Its not that im a wimp coz it has had me chassin it round the garden before with a shuven coz it growled at me but when it starts spittin at the mouth it looks like it will actually do something!!!

 

I dont bloody trust it no more!!

 

Just wondering would anyone get a litter off him before i had him put down??

you would be passing on his mad genes, be brave, do the right thing, and move on to your next pup, and look to the future what you have said the dog is only Problem, (( with a disaster waiting to happen,)))

[dogman541 0]

Right as you all know! I have a saluki/ Bull/ Greyhound, He is good at workin brings back live to hand! BUT...

 

He has a bad aggression problem, with people, other dogs and anything that moves!

He doesnt do the little stuff very well as is a very big dog!

He attacked my german shepherd for the 3rd time last night and the outcome was nasty! as couldnt get him off!

 

I am really stuck and dont know what to do please help!!!

 

I dont know wether it would be safe to sell him or give him away or wether it would be safer to just get him put down!!

 

please help

*just texting the water as dont know what to do yet*

 

you've done the right thing putting him to sleep my friend, i had to do it myself back in feb,

he was like my best friend [heartbreaking] but its the safest and most responsible thing to do. he was allways soft and dopey but after being attacked by to rottys in the park he was never the same.

an aggresive dog is not a happy dog. chin up,

i cryied now and then for 5 weeks,he was my boy but at 2 years old and 14 stone of muscle, when he challenged me and showed me his teeth he made the decision for me. i had people stopping me in the street from 6 months of age making all sorts of offers, i took him on from 6 weeks old bcuz the pakie didn't want him anymore. bullmastiff/pittbull rip my henry.

Sorry you had to do that mate, but it's true to say the easiest course of action isn't always the correct one, and you've done the right thing using your head over your heart.

[Doglost Co-Ordinator 4]

Hard as is was for you, it's better than living in fear. There's always going to be dogs that no matter what you do you cannot help. They will upset the hell out of you. There will always be some one as well that cant keep their dog & needs a new home. Once you've had a dog you dont stay for long without one.

Have an easy night & wake up knowing that you've done the right thing for Jasper & yourself

[Tallyho 181]

Only one thing for it , if he is nasty with people put him down, you cant take that risk of him attacking someone or a child .if any one of mine showed any type of aggression to any human they would go , its not worth the risk .

[Ratman2 2]

That dog has got to go!!.............when does your mind get made up, when it knacks a little kid or something??

 

Do it and do it now

 

Yep! that's the best advice.

Hi i had a dog like that years ago tried to give it away the bloke brought it back said it sorted out his other dog.and for some unknown reason it didnt like gloves put gloves on and my hands were chewed proper sore.had it put down couldnt do anything with her.

[Lurcherlovr 0]

I think that you done the right thing, just recently I got given a bull terrier, I knew him a bit before but not totally, he was fine but one day he turned, he attacked one of my other dogs, and when I got him off her he got my hand, I ended up in hospital for 3 days because of it and just got out of needing plastic surgery, and still haven't got the full use back in my hand and I never will, but I would do it all again to protect Honey, the thing was we were given him, and only after we found out that he had attacked in the past because the previous owners never said anything (not saying that you wouldn't say) with the help of four vets and a foster home put him down and found out that he had rage syndrome, and we had two children five and under living in the house so it was serious, I would get another bully but it would be a while, as I still love the breed, the thing was that they were just passing the responsibility on to us, and even had the guts to tell us that there was no need to put him down and that we gave up on him too quickly, so I don't think they fully understood his problems. You were responsible, and you did best by everyone who knew the dog, your other dogs and the dog in question.

[undisputed 1,664]

At the end of the day you did the right thing but moving on to a couple of other points...you asked if anyone had a litter going with no bull in the mix. I'm not a lover of this x but I dont think that was your problem. You have to dominate your dog no matter what the x. your the boss not the dog. By the sounds of it you were to soft on him the only way to curb aggression in a dog toward a dog that shows this type of behaviour toward human's never mind other dogs is to meet like with like imo. If any of my dogs showed the slightest inclination to being aggressive toward people I would litterally beat the dog to within an inch of it's life, no two way's about it. Dog's need to be socialised properly and not pampered to the extent that they see themselves as a member of the family. Think of it as pack mentality there can be only one boss and that is you, thats the way it works in the wild and thats the way it should work in your home....dont make the same mistake again or you will be posting the same question a couple of year down the line. Sorry if this sounds harsh but thats the way it is imo.

I'm sorry but I don't agree with this, I really don't like hitting dogs and could never do it whatever, actually tell I lie I hit the bull terrier when it was on my hand but felt so guilty after, what you are teaching if you do this is to fear people, and that could lead to so many problems later on, my dogs are members of the family, but ever since they were pups they had things taken off them, even food bowls when they were eating in order to get them to know that we were more dominant then them and we have never had any problems with them, never a growl or a snap, they even bow down to a five and a four year old with no problems, at one point one of the young kids even fell into the dogs raised bowls when they were eating, the dogs stopped eating and waited for him to get up. After the bull terrier bit me, even before I had cleaned up my own cuts properly I checked the dogs out and forgave the dog straight away as after we got him out of the room that he was locked up in he come out as a normal dog, I know that rage is different to normal aggression but I would never try to get rid of aggression with aggression imo.
