would you be willing to own a dog-aggressive dog?
I have an APBT, and I was very aware of possible DA behavior. So, yes... as long as they get along with the other dogs in the house. I live in a multi-dog house.
would you adopt a dog already known to be dog-aggressive?
No, because I have multipal dogs, and they have to get along.
what would you do if your own formerly unaggressive dog became dog-aggressive?
Reggin is not full blown DA, but he does not trust certain strange dogs and he makes it very clear. He doesn't tolerate other dogs getting in his face. As long as he gets along with my other dog, then I could care less that he dislikes other dogs. Its not like he roams the street or we go to dog parks, so DA is not any kind of inconvenience for me. He is AMAZING with the other dogs in the house, so thats not a worry.
what would you do if your dog attacked another dog while your dog was off-leash in a public place?
Do the responsible thing and pay for the vet care. The only time reggin felt the need to attack and defend himself is when another dog gets in his face and doesn't back off when reggin warns. Stray dogs run up when Reggin is ON A LEASH.
I do not agree with putting a dog down just because he is DA and has attacked due to the negligence of the owners. Accidents DO happen, but if more people would be responsible, attacks would be a rare occurance ...
