Not pit bulls
Lephus Felton owns the dogs, and he said one is a rottweiler, but the other three are mixed breeds consisting of rottweiler, German shepherd and chow chow.
Felton said the dogs are trained and obey orders, but the problem is he wasn’t home at the time of the attack.
“I was gone for 30 minutes,” Felton said.
He said when he returned home, a woman told him his dogs killed someone in his backyard.]]
Felton said Samson, 5, and Kiki, 4, are the parents of the two younger dogs, Matez and Buck, both 3 years old.
We had a chow chow that was aggressive/dominant. Even as an eight-week old puppy, he terrorized our adult black lab.
Finally, after he snapped at our toddler son (and after we had visited three vets, tried special training and medication), I finally had him put down. It was one of the hardest things I ever had to do.
But I could not have forgiven myself had he injured (or worse) my little boy.
Merlin (the chow chow) had bitten our neighbor, and one time, when our back door was open, a St. Bernard was being walked in the alley right next to our backyard. I didn’t know the front door was open.
Merlin raced through the house at lightning speed and jumped up and attacked a dog four times bigger (at least), grabbing the dog by the throat.
He was just ... it was like a switch went off. When we brought our son home from the hospital, my husband said that he looked at our baby and me like I was holding a roast chicken.
