Well Trish what do you mean by bite history? Dog or human? That really makes a difference imo. I don't think a dog should be put to sleep that is dog agressive if the owners can handle it. For those of us with bitch agressive bitches, they would understand. Left to her own vices I am quite confident my Cheyenne would attempt to kill another bitch . YET, I have a CD on her and will put a BH on her next year. I also would never let the situation as described happen nor would she go after a small dog(no threat). But if someone else let her out the front door and another big female came by she would probably attack it. Again..won't happen.

Now, of course, my Parker would never attack another dog. I am a proud owner and a very responsible one. I am socializing him and having him professionally trained. I have been working with him on bite inhibition. He is never left outside unattended. His parents both have temperament titles and working titles. I did my homework. I am doing everything in my power to ensure that he is an ambassador to the breed and for dogs in general.

Don't be so quick to say never. Your probably right since Parker is a male but there are many bitch owners who did the same as you who have bitches who are dog aggressive. Doesn't make the dog a bad dog or the owner bad. How you handle your dog once you realise this situation is the important thing.
PS. If I owned the Pom I would sue the ass off the Rottie owner.
