Working from home I bonded quickly with them and doted on them like they were my own children.

I see this as the major problem. They had no respect for humans and reacted to your daughter as they would to another dog.

Instead of respect and knowing who was in charge.

what a great blessing for everyone. Thank God those lovely dogs found love again instead of being abused or put to sleep. God is so kind.

I think you done good.

If you decide on new dogs sometime in the future I personally with go with a different breed.

That was nice. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Sounds like you had some good closure.
I would call it a gift of peace from God.
Cool.

Thank you for sharing your story, and I’m so glad that your prayers were answered. Your dogs found a wonderful home and you ultimately received confirmation of that fact. Blessings and peace.

My wife and I just adopted tow rescue English bulldogs from a similar situation. They are anxious to please, but they have not been well trained. The previous owner felt they were a danger to his granddaughter and was going to have them executed.

I think they are going to do well.

It is amazing how we worry that they won’t be as loved by someone else. Yet, we have adopted 6 dogs over the last few years, and bought one puppy of our favorite breed. There is not a single ounce of difference in our affection for any of them. We lost one to cancer almost 2 years ago, and I am losing a 2nd to cancer now. But, I would hope that the previous owners of all of them would know how much we have loved them, and how we have ached when we have lost them.

We ran into the same problem. We had a beautiful and friendly beagle that we acquired after the loss of our first baby girl. I can still remember the ride home after picking her up from the seller. Wonderful little puppy just crawled on to my shoulder and curled up behind my neck as I drove home. Let me say that little dog was a blessing to us in those hard days.In time she grew up and we started having more kids things started to change.As long as they were crawlers she was content to climb and sit on top of the couch. The kids didn't mean any harm but to them she was their favorite toy. When they were finally able to climb there was nowhere else for her to escape to and so began the hitting and snapping. We had no choice but to give her away but it was in my power to select the very best companion for her that I could. I gave her to a Truckee friend of mine. With a heart of gold and they are out there right now on the interstate somewhere riding. As he keeps her with him at all times. He doesn't have anyone else so they are perfectly bonded. Glad you had that same end game work out for you.

Do yourself a favor and do the old switcheroo to poodles.

Smartest dogs around people. There might be smarter dogs at herding sheep.

Plus much easier to be around for people with Asthma.

My daughter is actually selling puppies right now and they also go for a lot.
