I've been gone from here for ages.
I have a probably bullmastiffXpit thing and a beagleXbasset. My boyfriend has a chi and an APBT. All four of the dogs have always lived together. The chi, bullmastiffX, and APBT were raised by us (and my beloved hound).
Last week, seemingly out of legitimately nowhere, the APBT attacked my hound, who now has many stitches. It wasn't nearly as bad as it could have been, but it was bad enough for us. Immediately, we thought, this is a bloodline/genetics thing. The APBT is 2.5 years old--perfect age to develop DA, right?
We were trying to figure out a rehoming plan, but today we just decided to eat the cost and send her to Sean O'Shea for a month. I'll hear back from The Good Dog in a day or two. Now we wait.
I have the dogs segregated, although I am allowing the APBT to interact with my mastiff mix, Hamlet, so long as both dogs are tired and calm. The APBT and my hound are both strong willed females, and there has always been tension there. I'm hoping Sean's people can help and this never happens again.
