Hind sight is 20/20 and sometimes these guys can be just fine for weeks and months and years.
When one is just leanring about how to handle a reactive dog it is normal to wonder if it a one off or do a little denial.
If things where perfect that dog not been breed at all or sold with aggressive markers to a new unskilled owner. Aggression is made by abuse, it is also in the gene pool. It is the gene pool that can determines just how bad this will be.
She did not ask for this to happen. To accept the fur kid she loves is less then perfect is a very hard and hurtful thing to be dealing with.
To ask her to in away think clearly in a time of stress is impossible unfair and unkind.
This is an illness on the part of the dog no less no more then liver shunt, slip knees or anything else these guys can get.
The same respect to her that be give to a owner of a ill dog is needed here at this time.
