| i feel as if this dog has been abused. i've never seen a dog act that way if it wasn't scared to death for some reason. i know sometimes it's just no training and bad behavior but i get a more abuse vibe from this one's actions. |

| I don't think it was the owners hand. Probably the owner was videoing it and made a friend pet her while she was sleeping. (And they thought that was funny) That made the dog mad cause it was a stranger. I dunno...lol I may be wrong.

| She explains that it is her mother's dog and they have a "sibling rivalry". I think the owner needs to step in and teach both of her daughters how to deal with each other. I would not accept this kind of behavior from either of them!

| Shocking. This owner may think this is cute but if she should ever have/need to rehome this dog, many, many people would not take it. Should she wind up in an Animal Shelter, they could very well list her as "unadoptable" and kill her, due to the biting. I tried and plead like for hours with my animal shelter to let me have a tiny terrier "biter" at my AC and they said "No, way", they were euthanizing her. Could not take the chance. I tried to get them to let me sign any kind of waiver - anything to save her life. No, she was considered as beyond help in their minds and said they would not risk the "public health", no matter how willing this "public" was to take her and help her. Letting a dog bite is always bad for the dog and you can tell how bad the poor dog feels. You can see that in its little face and defensive body attitude. Dog's do NOT want to bite humans and only do it for all the wrong reasons and they do not like it. The dog looks so uncertain and uneasy after each bite! Horrible!!!

Unfortunately we don't know this dog's history, but I agree the likely cause was the fault of the owner. How-ever there are in each breed, an unfortunate few pups that somehow end up mis-wired from the start. I own a timid/fear based dog, which I have spent hundreds of hours and thousands of training dollars, to try to bring stability to her temperament. She is much better than she was at 7mths old when we got her, but I still don't trust her, and sadly I don't think I ever will. We go weeks, sometimes months without an incident, and then whamoo, she exhibits either dog aggressive behaviour, or people aggression. We have had her temperament tested by two different working dog experts, who reached similar conclusions, she is simply hard-wired this way. It is the main reason she will not be bred, and will be spayed.

You say your dog was 7 months old when you got her, are you sure that she was wired that way, or is it possible something trumatic happened to her? The first few months are so important. Of course it's always best to be cautious and never breed an aggressive, fear based dog, I doubt if they'd make good mothers anyway!

This little dog was one that could have been salvaged and was terribly anxious and afraid and only being aggressive out of fear and self-defense. It was a terrible loss to me and I could not go back to that shelter but one other time. It was after that last visit that I called the breeder I had gotten Jilly from and found out about the kennel dogs she had been given to find homes for by a breeder with personal problems - one of which was Tibbe. Once I saw Tibbe, my hunt for a dog was over - but I still think about that little Yorkie mix who died for no reason at all when someone like me with a lot time, patience and love, could have totally turned her around. I would have probably never ever trusted her around children no matter how far I brought her back but that would not have to be an issue as I don't have a lot of interaction with children. So sad for a little dog to be a biter, as it can wind up getting them killed in certain circumstances.
