I also don't think you clearly know the difference between a "Please put me down now!" bite and an "I wanna kill you!" bite. If it were an "I wanna kill you bite", the dog wouldn't have stopped. It would have snarled and kept biting you even when you stopped the offensive action. If it were an "This doesn't feel right, put me down!" bite, the dog would have given a quick snip and immediately stopped once you stopped the offensive action. Furthermore, the dog would have shied away from you whereas an attacking dog would stand ground or perhaps even bolt forward.
14 weeks is incredibly young. For neglected and possibly abused dogs, it could perhaps have been 14 weeks of hell from human tormentors. These dogs obviously associated humans with negativity, and I would have expected you to know that...Even if you don't think you can take them on, you could at least keep them for the time being until you find another Great Dane foster. Many people have rehabilitated dogs previously used for dog fighting and dog bait. Rehabilitating a 14 week old puppy is much easier. Please give these dogs a chance!
Edit: I was right. Sub backed away when you try to touch him. He's terrified! He's not trying to attack you. He's scared and needs some serious TLC from a conscientious owner. Please be the one for him.
i think dont put them to sleep they need to be givin a chance just like everyone dose, i know you posted a while ago so did you get them or not? if it turns out sub is too agressive then at least take on lime
I vote get them. Waiting to see what you decided
I definently say DO NOT put them to sleep. They are only 14 weeks old and that is still pretty young. Give them a chance, they really deserve it... They are probably very scared and have taken in alot of abuse:( Please give them another chance.. I know with time and patience they might be able to pull through!!
OK everyone. I called my boss and he said to come and get the dogs emmiedetly. I have good new for lots of people. I'm taking the puppies on!!
Good!
if they do turn out to be agressive and unadoptable...then at least you know you gave them a chance.
I am happy you decided to take in these 2 pups! I wish you all the luck with them!!:)
where are you located my daughter is looking for a dane to rescue shee has a five acre ranch out on the country. It's 35 mintues to town from here place.
These puppies will probubly we kept by me, but if not, I'll be sure to tell you. The puppies are outside running around with the other dogs right now, I monitered them with the other dogs, and they were great with the dogs!!!!
Wow, that's great to hear they are good with other dogs! :) Have they let you be near them at all? I hope they will get over their fear of people, I'm sure with time they will. Keep us updated! :)
ya how were they when you got them home?
Best of luck to you. You did the right thing. Great job. Please keep us posted:D
