I live in the country, My dads house is about .25 miles to the north of me and my neibour is about the same to the south. The only aggresion she has ever shown is to bycicles...she hates them. As for who started the fight. My sister was closest and says my dog just ponced on other dog, witch is a male. As far as did I invite the other dog, NO! Here is the prob thow, my neibor is also my landlord ;o....So anyways I paid the vet bill and what is done is done...Neither of our yards are fenced in, if I keep her should I try a muzzle? Im lost here. Its not my house so I cant really put a fence up, Plus my dog doesnt leave my yard. As far as being around other dogs, my dad has 2 female rotts and a male jack russel and my sister has a female black lab...Never showed aggressing and they are always together..Dads 3 dogs was t here when fight happened.?????????????? |
Not going to yell....we live on a country property and also don't have everything fenced. I do have a kennel run that I can put both of my dogs in if they want to stay outside without me.
Is your female spayed? Is the neighbors dog intact? I am really surprised that a female would attack a male dog this severely.
Was there any damage done to your dog?
It really was the neighbor/landlords fault...his dog should not have been wandering around. It would have been more fair to pay half the vet bill.
Now that you know that she can be aggressive with other dogs, and especially this dog, you will have to supervise her. No more letting her out loose or without a leash on. Make sure your neighbor keeps his dog home too...the days of letting dogs out the door and letting them wander, are over.
You can buy a kennel run or find a used one, or build one, and put her in there when you cannot watch her outside.
I'm really surprised with all of the people around when the fight started....why you could not get them separated before all of that damage was done???
And I really don't think your dog "just pounced" on this dog...there were probably big signs that your dog was ready to go...usually they stiffen up...the hair on their back goes up,etc.
