[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 392704, member: 1514"] Sven is right on the one bite rule...in some states. In others there is no one bite rule and you are liable on the first bite. As far as I am concerned, I wont have a dog that bites. Period, end of story. They get no second chance. I have had two that had to be put down because of it. One bit another dog and the other bit my son. That was it for them. It had nothing to do with training either. The dog that bit my son was an indoor dog that we had no problem with before. We have no clue why he went off. He had been my mothers dog for several years...probably close to 4 years without a bit of problem. In fact, that was one of the reasons I kept her in my home for as long as I did before sending her to a nursing home because she still remembered her dogs name. I didnt want to take her away from her dog until she didnt remember him. After she left he was fine for about another year then one day, my oldest son was petting him...and he grew up with my oldest son too, and he turned on my son and bit the snot out of him on the hand and arm. We finally got him off his arm, managed to get a leash on him, dragged him outside and tied him up. Took my son to the ER to get seen and called the pound to go get the dog to have him put down. If they hadnt come to get him I would have shot him when we got home. I wont have a dog that bites. I have too many kids coming to my house. Now? I have pitbulls, rotties, little dogs...all sorts of things...but none of them will so much as growl at my kids. They know better. My dogs may bark, but they dont bite. [/QUOTE]
