Then stick around and learn more about the breed. Dogs who are well raised don't reach a certain age then suddenly turn aggressive. Why would they? |
Well, the reason I ask this is I had a bad experience with another dog we had. She was a beautiful Chow. The Vet at the time told us that they had a habit of turning aggressive at about the 8 month age. Well, to make a long story short this lovely dog that we loved so much seemed like she changed right at about eight month mark. She started showing aggressiveness to me and my wife. More to the story but I'll leave it there for now. I had thought that something was bothering him or maybe not feeling well and took him to the Vet and sure enough nothing wrong health wise.
I know from past experiences and the way people always tell me now "Oh you have a Rottie? There mean dogs!" All I do is just shake my head at that and tell people it's just the way you bring them up. Well until that Chow....
Any how looks like I'll get her (Angel) into training classes. Any idea what to expect to pay? Just so I don't get ripped.
Please and any other tip's you can pass along to me and Angel would be much appreciated
Thanks for all of you that are so kindly answering my questions.
Great board and I'll be here to stay it looks like
