Our 1 year old female fixed English bulldog as been showing some signs of aggression. The first couple times it was towards strangers during a walk who just walked right up to her and also a loose dog that came running up but was not showing aggressive behavior. Anyway I felt like she had some right to be on guard or possessive of us, her family. Well yesterday she got really aggressive and tried to bite my 4 year old, because my daughter was trying to reach for her harness to guid her off our couch. I mean I was totally shocked at the behavior from the dog towards my daughter. I'm now very uneasy as we also have a 1 year old and friends with small children. My husband says she has to be re homed and I agree for the most part. But I also think she has been a super sweet dog and until now has never been anything but gentle. I don't want to rush to a regretful decision on either end. I don't want to make excuses and think we can work through it and have something worse happen yet, I don't want to get rid of her and have regrets that way either. We are her 2nd home we have had her for 7 months. Do you have any words of wisdom or advice? This is our 1st bulldog but we have had all sorts of breeds in the past and currently have a pit bull mix who is 10. They get along fine but boots the bulldog has shown signs of aggressive behavior towards other dogs.
