Got a friend who has a dog who has become a problem.
He's an English bulldog, about 6 years old, brindle. He went after one of the other dogs yesterday, and my friend's wife was in the way - she didn't TRY to get in-between them, just happened to be in-between. Anyways, he got her arm and had to be pulled off, jaws pulled apart. I guess he is a really great dog when he is the center of attention, he just gets jealous and my friend says he really needs to be the only pet in the house wherever he lands and he will be fine. Here's what he sent me about his history:
They have multiple small children, so he is being kept in the laundry room for the moment, until they find a place for him, I believe.
This isn't something to fool with - if you know animals and think you can deal with this, that's fine. But this isn't a dog to experiment on. The injuries were significant, she ended up with I think 27 stitches. I'm trying to help out my friend here, hoping someone can find a home for this dog where he will thrive as a sole pet - I hope. I am going strictly on my friend's word and can't attest to anything other than that.

Here's what he sent me about his history:
He's an Olde English Bulldog. 6 years old. Went from a backyard breeder, to a couple of nice old folks that bought him as a package deal with his Sister who they intended to breed. They neglected them due to traveling too much, and didn't want the dogs to "dirty up the house." So they were kennelled almost all the time. When they were let out they were confined to a small area. Both become overly aggressive with resource hoarding behavior. They got in a fight, which tore Butch's ACL, and his sister wounded. They wanted to get rid of him, so we took him. We had the excess time to spend with him and give him what he needed. Never showed anymore aggressiveness to other animals. Pure blooded, believe papered but not sure.
He really is a great dog. Just needs to be the center of attention. Very exuberant, very rambunctious. Loves other people and to play.
They have multiple small children, so he is being kept in the laundry room for the moment, until they find a place for him, I believe.
