It's got to be from bad breeding because by nature they're normally the sweetest most laid back dogs. |
That's the thing, I'm sure that bad breeding is the cause many times, but you never really know. How do you explain a laid back dog, who's rolled in the floor with a child and been around it for years suddenly turning on that child unprovoked and losing it's mind for a split second? No abuse from the owner, no shown acts of agression in the past. It's baffling, really. Goes back to what chachi said about supervison. And because it's a big dog, it could inflict serious damage...the end result would NOT be the same coming from one of our little ones. And heaven forbid if a dog even MORE capable of inflicting damage...
So I completely understand nana's logic on that one.
