| Re: Dog Nearly Bites Friend - Urgent Advice Needed
"I don't know exactly what the dog laws are in Florida but if THIS dog bites someone, the OP is going to be in alot of hot water and the legal fees and lawsuits that could occur will make paying a trainer for help look like buying a pack of gum."
I live in FL, pretty close to the poster too.
Unfortunatly the dog will get the bulk of the press, as is the "usual case" when a Rott is involved. It will probably be put to sleep as well, if the dog is known to have agressive tendencies prior then I don't think they even have a 3 strike law for them. Only one bad bite and he's put down.
Sad but best to my knowledge, true.
I know Florida counties are working on a Pit ban, only a matter of time (if owners like this continue to raise dogs) before Rotts are next in line here. I'll move before I give up my Rott.
