Should I have the dog put down?

[Catty1]

It might not hurt to call AC and let them know that this is one of many dogs these people have owned that have had problems, and some had to be PTS.

With that kind of track record - it's the people, not the dogs.

Poor puppies.

The fact that they have had other dogs put down for so many reasons makes it blindingly obvious that these people should not own dogs!

I would suggest that your friend surrenders the dog to a rehoming centre where it can get the training and attention it so obviously needs.

If the husband plays rough with the dog then it thinks that is how it can play with everyone - not matter who they are.

Poor dog - encourage your friend to get it re-homed with people who know what they are doing

Didn't realize they had other dogs PTS. If that's the case I agree that it's the owners and not the dogs that are at fault.

I agree. I think the dog should be rehomed with someone who knows how to train a dog. Shame on these people for killing off dog after dog and not even trying to train them properly! They should not have a dog!

Any updates on this poor, confused dog?
