This thread is amazing. Now I really can see why there are so many breed banning laws out there. It's from overreaction and those that really don't know what they are talking about.
This dog, just like some children, needs to be taught that aggressive behavior of any kind is unacceptable. She has just had the chance to take her fight to the level of death...most likely unintentional, who here knows the size of the Yorkies she fought?!? Anyone? ANYONE?
TRUST ME, I am NOT saying that she isn't a danger at this point to other dogs. But what I am saying is that b.s of people lining up chanting "euthanasia, euthanasia" is a freakin' joke!
I hope the original poster posts up again and can give us more of her story. Who here trains and competes with dogs? I am by no means God when it comes to training, but I have been at it for many years and on a professional level and I am here to tell you that without evaluating this dog, it is UNLIKELY that she cannot be taught to be in a mulitple dog household and thrive in such. Is it possible that she can't? Sure, there just haven't been many, I can count 5 in the last....16 years that I've had to recommend either euthanasia or a experienced handler with no other dogs or cats. But the dogs were taught control through their obedience to be consistent and IGNORE other animals. Only one was actually euthanized out of those 5.
I would love to meet this individual and offer her my services for free if she lives up in the Northern Illinois area so she can keep her bitch and not have to worry about her with the other dogs. |
