Aggression -- just asking..... I'm amazed at how many people complain about having aggressive little Yorkies.
How many of you really do have this problem?
And - how many of you can't stop it?
Have any of you ever had to rehome an "aggressive" pet?
I know you can have an aggressive dog that is only mildly or moderately aggressive. But - if I had a real problem on my hands - my dog actually bit people --- especially children - I'm not sure I would want to keep it.
I don't expect dogs to be perfect - anymore than I expect people to be perfect, but my idea of having a pet is having an affectionate and loving addition to my family. Dogs can do terrible things and drive us crazy, and we still love them to death and will keep them forever. But, if I owned a dog that bit my children or my friends or other people and animals, I would do everything I could to stop this behavior, but I certainly wouldn't want a pet like this living at my house.
I have six pets - two dogs, two cats, and two birds. And the rule here (jokingly) is that if you want to live here, you have to get along with everyone else. And - so far, it has worked.
Anyway - I'm just interested in how many of you tolerate a pet that is more than a little bit aggressive.
