I was trying, earlier, to put your mind at ease in making a difficult decision under difficult circumstances. I wanted you to know you weren’t wrong for considering it. I was trying to help you.
Now I am beginning to think your refusal to accept that he is beyond “he’s a good boy otherwise...” is simply irresponsible. You seem to have built a happy life around a dog who would kill your daughter if you weren’t hyper vigilant. Good for you, but your dog just isn’t worth the risk to the innocents who will be hurt if you or anyone else makes a mistake. Now, I wish I could help them.
Don’t tell me a vet won’t do it. I quite simply do not believe you.

Well, then maybe you should have phased it as such, rather coming off as a punch in the nose.

My daughter was only visiting for week, and it’s Las Vegas. She was only at home a few hours a day. After his initial reaction, he calmed down. Neither my daughter or I wanted to waste the time we had to visit, when I haven’t seen her for 6 years, training the dog. In my absence, I don’t believe he’ll bite the hand that feeds him. I believe a responsible person could work with him.

Call them and ask. After an extension conversation, they were the ones that convinced me not to immediately take the nuclear option:
Courtyard Animal Clinic
250 North Decatur Boulevard Las Vegas, NV 89130
(702) 868-4115
“Don’t tell me a vet won’t do it. I quite simply do not believe you.”
Clever trying to distract me from my grief by trying to turn it to anger over calling me a liar. Again, cleaver and kudos.
