It bothers me that he's bit you, his own family. We had a chocolate lab once who was extremely afraid of small children and would growl and snap if one was around (our youngest at the time was about 4, he was OK with our family but not other people). He did actually bite a child (thank God it was a very minor wound) We tried socializing him with no luck, he just got worse. We ended up putting him down because our fear of a child getting hurt or killed outweighed everything else. All I could think about were the stories you hear on the news about dog attacks and I could not live with myself if that were to happen to someone by my dog. He was just too unpredictable. We knew putting him in another home would be giving someone else the same problem. The vet tried to talk us out of it and the next day confirmed with us that we made the right decision as they had to tranquilize him in order to get close to him. It was the hardest decision we've ever had to make. I feel for you, you have a hard decision to make. Good luck. |
I dont care about the statement i made it was the truth IMO!!! A lot of dogs dont like children. Children are young and dont know any better either so they grab dogs and hurt them sometimes not intentionally but the dog doesnt know that and after too many times of that why would you like children? If i was a dog and a child or even a person hurt me too many times i wouldnt like them either. Im sorry but that is that truth. ITs not the dogs fault as well as its not the childs fault. Your right i dont know your situation but i would always look at rehoming before i even would PTS a dog. Elderly people would be great for a dog with that doesnt like children! I ALSO in my statement didnt say it directly to you i said "All people want to do is put dogs down when they do something wrong when they simply don't know better." If you feel that should be directed to you personally then take it like that!
All of us here on YT look at our dogs as our children and im sorry if you dont like that but we wouldnt kill a child because it did wrong. i know there is some difference but with time and patience a dog as well a person can be helped. A yorkie is not a huge dog and she said this dog was her youngest and jealousy contributed to the biting. Well a home with no other dogs could be a good place for this pup.
