porkchop's previous owner said:Just to set the record straight since none of you were at my home when PC attacked 3 other dogs at two different times which were being walked in front of our home and heard the screaming women trying to protect thier pets to the point of hesterics. Twice with larger dogs and once with an ankle biter (no mention of these aggressive issues when we took PC however when we 1st met him, PC snapped at the owner and that should have been clue 1) I have raised large breeds before, both Boxers and Great Danes and none of these breeds ever had this issue of dominance over other dogs like PC has. Keep in mind that he is over 5 years of age, training him not to attack can be costly and most of the time at that age will not produce the results you desire.
Lets talk about liability for a moment, your pet bites or severly insures a person or someones dog. The liabilty on this could end up being tremdous. Having a pet which weight is over 100 lbs and pure muscle as PC is, and charging at a human or a small dog can have a not so good outcome.
PC in the home got along with cats, kids, loved to give big slobbery kiss's. Outside of the house was a different story and totally different personality.
I do not apologise for my actions nor have I done so much explaining to total strangers in many years. I did what was best for me and my family, and I know each of you bored goverment workers will have something to say one way or the other. Personally I don't care what you have to say, since you don't provide food, finances or support for me or my family.
If you have a farm, away from other animals except cats then he will be a wonderful pet and best friend. However if you live in a neighborhood and have to share the air with other dogs he will be very aggressive and a potential hazard.
just for information purposes.....
if anyone is looking at adopting this dog, please be away that his is what the previous owner had to say about why PC is at the shelter.
the person who claims she was responsible for placing PC with this family may be intending to not fully disclose this information in an attempt to resuce this guy again.
