WTF....ADOPTED FAMILY DOG KILLS OWNER.......

It was this: [link to i.imgur.com]

and dogs are no different.

they are what they are when they are born, and it takes a human to train them to be what they should be.
At least dogs dont have gummint and lawyers telling them they dont have to heel or earn their food and keep

the money is on the likelyhood that the dog was either not neutered, or only recently neutered.
Big animals fight for the priority to feed and fk first and no human is gonna get in the way of that when the time is right unless the dog fears them

Depends on the training. If you get them as puppies, you can stop that from happening. Again, I can take food right out of my dog's mouth (Mastiff/Rottweiler). However, another one that I have that was already territorial when I got her (Great Pyrenee), there is no way you could take food out of her mouth without getting bit.

BTDT, the problem stemmed from someone introducing a recently neutered male with a super dominant predisposition to another passive but large male and the subsequent response was very poor and essentially fixed permanently only to that pair.
That lack of foresight on someones part scotched the possibilities of a proper result for those two.
Some things cant be fixed, and the only real potential for a good outcome was not to let a bad response be learned in the first place.
I had to jump on them more than once when someone would break the two closed doors separation rule. IT did improve to the point that I could keep them apart without the blankey but not with any confidence of being safe and unhurt myself.
That never got resolved until one was removed.

no offense but the topic is big adult dogs being rehomed, I believe.
With puppies, they can be trained right, I deal with severely abused and neglected large dogs

Check out the comment below the article. Looks like people dont even bother to read the first line of the news. I bet its someone from this site. lol.

Gee, I hope she's gonna be OK...

SHE`S DEAD!

LOL

They didn't say if all of the dogs were together at the time, have to wonder if this was the case or if there was something else that happened?

I dont know what BTDT means. but I was able to process the rest. seems you have a method to keeping dogs safe, happy and well raised.

part of the reason I can't afford a dog (trust me, the companionship would greatly benefit GLP) is because I can't afford to pay to have it spayed/neutered. sometimes it is financial, somtimes it is lazyness of not wanting to nurse it during the recovery, sometimes I don't have the intellectual capitol to make such a decision.

firstly, you can find a dog which has been neutered already.
secondly you can feed a dog well and properly with minimal money.
There is a cute little book called raw dog food, that can teach you how, not that I got even a penny from it, (thought I should have)

No offense taken...I was just trying to explain that it isn't the the breed or size of the dog, it is the training, or lack of.

We adopted a mastiff a year ago and it is one of the kindest,gentlest dogs I've ever had. Everyone who has been around him has said the same. I know dogs are all different but I'd love to get more mastiffs, he is great with kids, other dogs, and our 5 cats love to cuddle up and sleep with him.

the only difference is in the size and capacity of the animal to do damage.
Small dogs are just as vicious, they just dont much inflict damage on adults, though even a pomeranian has killed an infant.
Dogs are dogs, breeds are another thing altogether.
Dogs are predators, and you can only control them by access and prevention and socialization. They will all revert to predators under the proper circumstances. The owners duty is to prevent the circumstances from presenting themselves.

the breed standard for most large dogs is a comfortable aloofness and confidence to others not presenting as a threat, and a comfortable familiarity and protectiveness with family/pack.
Dogs, like humans can have mental illnesses and obsessions which prevent them being presentable to normal social conditions and being a threat

Yep, exactly.

I wonder if that's what happened in this case...
