If she is biting men, WHY is the woman allowing men to handle her?!?!!?!? Not that it matters now...since she is returning her. I am sure you told her she had an aggressive problem with men? Heck you told us so I am sure you told her all of the history. When we place a pup like that we make sure that they will not be put back in the same situation.

Yes I am aware of limited space and understand why they wont take a dog like Mindy..

I wondered the same thing and when I picked her up tonight I asked the woman why the heck was she doing that!! I was pretty mad at her for that, and for not contacting me sooner. I gave her heck too. She said Mindy bit her ex husband this morning when he came by (she told me b4 she had NO contact with him).

And he threatened to sue her. She said when she was walking Mindy she saw an older man and went after him pulling and going nuts on the leash. then she got out of the harness as she tells it and attacked the old man biting at his legs. Then another incident she says she bit her brothers hand when he went to pet her, [on the head, from the top..DUH].

I said to her why would you allow him to even try to touch her when you knew. she said he had petted her before with no problems. So it sounds like she actually made contact with 3 men and tried like heck on any other man she saw.

I can tell you that I have not had ANYTHING like that happen with her in public places. When we were at the vet 2x she was good, not any issues with men or dogs. She had not bit a single male since at least January. And I had them coming to my home. She never tried when Steve and Sue came or anyone else while she was in their home.

We took her into our home around December 6th and I started working with her right away as well as my husband and son.

The only thing I can think of that set her off would be to much to soon. She was used to free in a yard. There is nowhere safe to walk around here on these back roads so I don't walk them. So having to much happen so fast had to have upset her.

The woman lives in apartment so she had to walk Mindy to go potty and one would run into a lot of people that way.
