A vicious dog fight
Hello everyone,
2 months ago we homed 8 months old american bull/staff bitch Honey. We found her hanging from the tree badly beaten, with broken ribs unable to put her front paws down. She was in a distressing state. We already had one dog, 10 months old dogue de bordeaux also bitch -Misha...At first we were really worried about having two bitches together.
Honey, turned out to be an absolute dream dog..Very submissive, loving and constantly giving attention to everyone - even Misha. When MIsha is asleep she will come up to her and start licking her, nibbling her gently and puts her paw on her...Misha is however not a very affectionat dog. We have had her since puppy and to be honest she is a bit spoilt. So Honey has been living with Misha for 4 months now everything going fine until a few days ago when she turned aggresive towards MIsha over a stick. She viciously attacked her leg resulting in Misha having to have stiches.
Now, the vet said the dogs have to be separated otherwise it will happen again. We really want to keep Honey as she is absolutely amazing with other dogs, children and people. Neither of them have been neutered and Misha is currently in season. The vet said we could try to neuter them both and see how we get on but she thinks it will happen again... We really don't know what to do as Honey has never been aggresive before, she is very very submissive and affectionate. We really want to keep her.
So we were wondering whether anybody ever had the same problem? Should we keep her or will she snap again over a stick? Many thanks.
