They often whine or whimper or get lethargic
I have had many big dogs all my life. I'm on my third Rott now
We had very very aggressive standard American Bulldog named Bedford from puppy to aged two.
As he fully matured he just didn't ease to the hierarchy well
He was great with me....they always are...they see me as like Zeus and usually submit
But he nipped two kids of mine and then really but the last one who bless his heart considered him his dog
14 stitches. Hands.
Where I live any bite requiring over 24 hour hospital stay requires euthanasia by law....the dog that is
If I'd been home I may have shot the dog but my large family begged off so I called the breeder in Georgia and he agreed to take him back
Which he did and studded him and showed for two years and then sold him to a French guy in Bordeaux where he's their prize DNA
He's a great physical specimen but not suited for kids or strangers
When my oldest boy and I drove him back down to South Georgia it was very sad and when we pulled onto the guys farm the dog got whimpers
He just knew even though only 6 weeks when he left.....boy that was a sad long 6 hour drive back north to home in TN
Lots of strange dogs including his daddy who got the kennel next to him and snarled at him
It turned out ok but we still miss him
It is nice he's prospering doggie style
He even has his own webpage
a truly remarkable physical Scott style ABD....these dogs are smart unlike most bully breeds like the Johnsons which are dull....but they are fearless......and stamina...used for coursing and catching game in heavy or dense foliage and for guarding....some will handle unruly livestock
