So my aunt had this male germanshepard puppy that she let sit in the backyard for months. My mom took this monster and is trying to get Joy (her bully and this Shepard pup to get along)
Joy submits to the dog when on a leash but the male puppy bares his teeth, growls and jumps on her (There's y'er sign!). He is also food aggressive around Joy and right now she WANTS to keep this puppy and I am trying to talk her into surrendering the dog to a shelter where someone can find it the RIGHT home. My mom is new to dogs and this shepard pup is going to be way too much for her to handle and I told her this already and I preached to her everyhing I know and have been through with the like situation with Peaches and Riley who STILL hate eachother and will never be changed. She also has her grandkids living there which I worry about due to the food aggression and the dominate behavior he is showing. I asked her if she can neuter and spay both dogs (which she can def do and would do), WALK and TRAIN them both, Maintain HIS coat and be highly prepaired for either crate and rotate or the dogs fighting and Joy being badly hurt or riley ripping the dog apart and killing him when she goes with me out there. She'd have to crate both dogs when she left and be constantly watching them because we ALL know we should NEVER leave a bully breed alone with another dog period!
She was trying to do good but she is way in over her head...I know she is trying to help the dog out but I told her "SHELTER!" someone abandoned the dog, My mom gave it to my aunt, my grandma owns the house my aunt stays at and said GET RID OF IT. Aunt gives it to my mom, my mom tried but they don't get along, Dog is getting dropped back off at aunts to sit again in the yard with no formal training (valued time goes by with training, I am freaking out over this and cant believe what i am fucking seeing!!!!) when the simple thing they should have done was take it to the shelter when they first found it like I suggested not toss it back and forth..I am highly upset right now...this is IRISPONSABLE thinking on my moms side but more so on my byb shit for an aunt who collects dogs like they are collectables!!!! SHE wanted the dog saying a friend wanted him..this was back in May when I got Lil Bitty butt the dog sat in the back yard since 3 days ago when my mom took the dog to try and see if the dog got along with Joy and he isnt having it at all. I bitched her out, highly pissed off at everyone for tossing that poor dog around and IF I had space I'd have had that dog in a heartbeat back in May (I love shepards!) But I fear that it maybe too late and the damage has been done and now it will cost this dog dearly. People want a well behaved dog not a dog that grew up in the yard with no training or love. lets face it.. most people donot have the time some of US here have to spend with our dogs and no normal everyday GP dog owner wants to train harder and longer on a monster terror with no mannors and food aggression issues........
*Shakes head* I am very disapointed with myself aswell because I knew the dog wasnt in the best place and I begged Mark for us to take him just to train and re-home him but it was a NO..I feel like I failed with a dog I could have helped in the begining.....:(
I just pray to god my mom listens to me..for the dogs wellbeing!
