I live with a Dog aggressive dog, Buster who hates Rudy. I would never give up on him because he doesn't like Rudy.. he never has since the day we brought Rudy home and it's fine we manage his DA. Some dogs do not need dog friends, period. His best friend was Jenny (RIP) my rottie mix unless there was food involved.

Some dogs don't need dog friends, period. If you are going to own a certain breed that is prone to DA, don't get that dog if you absolutely won't step up and never leave them unsupervised and may have to keep them seperated forever.

To me, it's not a problem if I have to seperate my dogs forever.. they are our companions, they don't have to get along. Especially since I plan owning an APBT in the future, I won't expect that dog to get along with the dogs. That's years away though.

Rudy & Dixie love each other but are always strictly supervised.. someone is always home and they are never leave alone together when we are gone.

You can't live in a dream world that your dogs will always get along, they are animals.. they fight and they will. I don't care if Buster is Dog aggressive.. we manage it and move on. There have never been any real serious fights that he almost killed Rudy or anything, but we never let our guard down because he hates him.

My dogs are never left unsupervised no matter if we go to the store for 15 minutes, they are never left alone together.. it's too much of a risk to trust your dog that is Dog aggressive to be fine for 15 minutes when you can come home to a dead dog.. not worth it to me.

It's called being a responsible dog owner, you should never leave your dogs unsupervised no matter what the breed.. anything can happen.
