Mindy has become worse and I just cannot keep her here any more. I have 2 litters of pups right now and she is now attacking them. I have to keep her away from them which is almost impossible.

I put them in the ex-pen to play today and for me it was the last straw with her. She grabbed one through the wire and pulled the pup very hard by the hair growling.

When I clean their area or feed them she tries to get in. She sits outside of their play/living area in the kitchen and whines and again tries to get them through the wire (I use ex-pens). I cannot keep her away.

When I picked them up today to take them out to the deck she grabbed at the 3 I had in my arms and tried to rip it from my hand by biting at the pups. She does NOT want to play with them, she wants to hurt them!

She is starting serious fights with ALL of my other dogs in the house and they have had enough too. When I let them out of their crates in the morning she starts barking like mad and attacks them. There is mainly 3 she goes after, especially Rose one of my cockapoos and Rose is the most laid back easy going dogs, but Rose will not put up with it and will defend herself.

Mindy has also been growling at ME lately when I move her. Like if she is laying by my feet while I am on the computer and I love my feet to get up she growls like she is gonna snap. So far hasn't but who knows, it's a matter of time with her. I believe she is a ticking time bomb!

The vet cannot find anything physically wrong with her other than a LP on her back right knee, but it does not hurt her.

And she had bitten 2 more male friends. When I know someone is coming over I put her in my room and she barks like mad the whole time.

No rescue wants her, who can blame them. I just do not know what to do. My husband refuses to allow me to spend the money on a trainer or behaviorist, and I have to agree with him.

I am taking her to my vet on Thursday to discuss this further with him. I already know what he is going to say since he mentioned it last time we were in...sigh...
