at the rescue there's a few goldens or golden mixes occasionally over the year i been there, who don't like other dogs, or have other issues and are somewhat low level aggressive, or fucked up in the head it takes a long time and a lot of intensive work , there's a few, sweet as pie but don't you dare grab them by the collar, because it's an anger and fear trigger, or do not dare bathe or groom them with out a muzzle cause they WILL bite you, because it's a fear trigger or some emotional trigger and they WILL REACT, or so hard to manage only staff are hard to handle for the time being . Some of it is mis guidance, because they were on the streets so long they had to be the biggest badass running the streets or the others would take their food and hurt them, so they still see other dogs as a threat when they come in and are still acting all kujo and crazy for their own protection till they learn better, some simply were not socialized enough to not dislike other dogs. Some may have been abused by other dogs. There's a few that have it on their chart that they killed another smaller dog, One day as i was having lunch right in front of the counter on a couch that used to be there, a lady came in to Surrender her Golden she got somewhere else and they had not disclosed it had behavior problems, because it almost ripped her little Pomeranian throat out. Everything was all good and peaceful, they were having a raw hide snack, and then there was this horrible screaming and yelping and mom runs in to find the Golden has the Pom by the throat tearing into it and shaking the dog about. Blood everywhere, It was seconds away from killing it and her mom just barely saved the Pom, and as it was, the dog suffered massive injuries and was in critical care, and they were not sure if it was gonna live. those are the ones only staff are allowed to handle. I don't know what happened to the Golden that was surrendered, i wasn't around much shortly after that time, and there was one golden before my time, and when i was talking to the lady about walking dog tips and sit an come type things, she told me who bit and brutally attacked her at the rescue 37 times while she was working with him in a yard, and they had to put him to sleep. Because the level of the attack was so severe . Another Golden was on quarantine for biting someone in the face, it was probably their fault, but they still had to report it. Now i'm not relating these instances to make it seem like the rescue continually had crazy dogs or un safe practices, nor that they let people who were un fit work with the dogs, they don't this is what i've seen first hand and heard from reliable sources for the year i've worked there. Like all animals there are Golden's who're vicious or mean or dog aggressive, it just depends on their history. and their personality. It'd be like saying because you never met an intelligent blond you don't believe there's intelligent blonds out there. To play to that old joke that blonds are stupid. quote:
ORIGINAL: frazzle I have never met an aggressive golden retriever. Intelligent, while daft, hell yes. 5 mile walk, with a swim in the middle ( for the dog, not me), and it wasnt the lunatic 4 legged mutt that was knackered. Agrres with everyone, let it knows who is in charge, be consistant. Now the reality. Take it back until you learn something about dogs, any dog. Go to a rescue centre that actually cares about who they give a dog too. quote:
at i was getting into with Bones. I've never had a deaf dog and nobody warne
