I'm a little concerned with Perry. He is a very serious dog, he likes to play with Daisy, sometimes plays a little rough, but he has never hurt her actually he loves her very much. She licks his ears and eyes and he shares his food with her etc. He is very laid back and good with us, wants love and attention all the time. However it is another story with other dogs. Anytime he sees another dog he tries to attack. If we ride in the Explorer and he sees a dog on the street he goes crazy. When we took him to the Army Vet he tried to attack a Rottweiler. We were going to adopt another little Schnauzer from a lady who was going to have a baby and was afraid to keep the dog. They came down from Los Angeles to bring her down and we tried to bring them together and he attacked the dog three times. Of course we all decided this would not work and we were very disappointed, but would not put the little Schnauzer in jeopardy. We have come to the conclusion that we could not have another dog because of this problem, but it is hard to take him out to the park or anywhere we think there might be dogs or children. I'm not quite sure what to do to break him of this. He is very good with our immediate family, but not good with anyone he doesn't see very often.
Daisy does a lot of barking, but not aggresive like Perry is. We got him when he was 7 months old, he was being trained to show in the ring and didn't even know how to go up steps or jump. They decided on their other dog for the ring and we got to have him. With us he is just a good ole dog having fun. I wonder if his previous life had anything to do with this problem, although we have had him for two years, he seems to have gotten more aggressive in the last year. Too Protective? Perry is our sweetheart, we love him so much, we just wish he would get along with other people and dogs.
