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 am also a parent of skin-children and 5 Yorkies...
I am sure one of your kids or a child you have known has bitten or had a bitting problem before. We do not put children down...we teach them better, by all means necessary! I would do the same for my Yorkies as I regard them as an equal part of our family. Like I read earlier on here, pets
are not disposable
But I also smell a troll...but I just had to comment, sorry
