I have a 6 year old shih tzu. She was never socialized with other dogs. She is also spoiled.We took care of my father in our home until his death. Right after his passing she started biting. She mangled my fingers good at one point. This was 2 years ago. It subsided and she would snap at us off and on when she didnt want to do something we wanted her to. My daughter got a puppy in november and all of a sudden my dog started playing with it. She seemed to be a pup again herself. ( daughter doesnt live at home). We thought great she needs a playmate so we also got a pup. Half maltese and half shih tzu. They play and we havent had many problems. When the older dog wants to be left alone or not bugged she would snap at the pup and the pup would back away. We have had the pup about 6 weeks. The last 2 days the older dog has been attacking her. This evening they played for a long time as good as could be. About 4 hours later she again attacked the pup and we had all we could do to get the pup away from her. Hubby wants to put the dog down. She has been my baby and i am so heartsick. We are expecting our first grandchild in august and I am afraid she may be mean to the baby. Can anyone please give me advice??? Or lead me in the right direction????
thanks so much!
