Tennessee Retriever Mix Needs Home

**bi1526** · 06-06-2006, 01:31 PM

I have a Chesapeake Bay Retriever mix that is in need of a home. I am in the Memphis, TN area.

She is a spayed female, all shots, and heartworm negative.

Is she your dog and you're getting rid of her, if so, Why?

How old is she, does she get along with other dogs, cats, small animals, children? Any behavioral problems?

These questions would help to try and find a home for her.

I would also suggest asking for a small adoption fee for her. No less than $75.

She is my dog (three years). She has suddenly become aggressive with my male dog. I've been working with a behaviorist, but nothing seems to work in this situation.

She is great with other dogs, people, children, strangers, and loves car rides and retrieving.

Aggressive in what way? A sudden change? Has a Dr. checked her for any medical problems? After 3 years you are just ready to give her away

She looks to be a dear and I would think she deserves better.

In the last couple of months, she has attacked my male dog many times, though she has not seriously injured him yet.

He had a growth spurt and is now a little larger than she is. She has always been the "alpha" and my only guess is she is feeling threatened by him now. The attacks are unprovoked. The male is a very laid-back dog.

I am of the mindset that animals are not disposable and will do whatever necessary to find a proper home for Callie.

It has been a heart-breaking decision to make, but I can no longer tolerate the fighting and I have no way to keep them separately.

So then she's aggresive with your male but not other dogs? How do you know she is not going to attack another dog?

I have a friend who brings her dog over to play from time to time, and Callie LOVES him.

I don't KNOW she won't attack another dog, so I've been completely honest to everyone I've talked to, letting them know exactly what has been going on. A local rescue group is evaluating her tomorrow, so hopefully they will be able to place her.
