Humm, I was really going to stay out of this one, I really was but....I see it both way, and sometimes when we are on these forums our words come across differently then if we were talking "face to face". Why, because the tone can take on a whole different meaning because we can't see facial expressions etc. I don't think anyone is trying to"blame" anyone, and I honestly think everyone on here truly cares about this breed, and just wants to see this dog in a good home and getting the attention/training it needs. I side with most on here however that I would hesitate in paying $750.00 for a dog that has an aggression issue. I am a dog trainer and I know there is another trainer on here (forgot screen name) and she might agree that true agression can be very hard to overcome, so if someone fronts 750.00 there is no guarantee that this dog will be able to overcome this issue (however, I believe he will be able to). Again, my only thing is the asking price. I would prefer it to have been worded...I am asking $750.00 because of XXX, however, for the right home I will consider taking less so please PM me to discuss if you are interested". If I were putting my dogs best interest at heart, I would be willing to work with the right person. On her behalf, I give kudos for coming on and being upfront about the agression in the first place. Its just sad, and I'm praying for it to all work out.
