How can you possibly consider this reasonable offense? I've owned, trained and exhibited dogs for over 30 years in everything from conformation to schutzhund and never would I consider a dog attacking its owner for anything short of physical abuse to be 'reasonable offense'. lynda Check out our websites for constantly updated info and pictures www.falkrigiashepherds.com www.thecraftywoodchuck.com Sheila: I really agree with Lynda on this subject. Especially with the Medium to Giant Breeds that are big enough to really do serious to fatal damage ... In my Personal opinion..."There is not now, nor has there ever been any valid excuse, for "a Dog to Bite the Kind Hand that Feeds it !!!!!!! The only solution is a one-way trip to the Vet. asap!!!!!!!!!! Because I consider such a dog insane and beyond redemption. If the Dog is being painfully abused physically, by an insane owner, then they have an excuse..In that case the Insane Owner needs a One-Way trip !!!
