I have a 4 year old bulldog. I have had her since August 2014. She is a sweet and loving puppy. The problem I have noticed is that she is unpredictable sometimes. The following have happened recently (in between those times she has been fine):
1. My mom comes to my home to let me bully out while I am at work sometimes, she has brought her dog on many occasions. This time my dog ran up to her dog and took a dominant stance and snarled and barked.
2. My dog and I were sitting on the couch and my niece (age 3) was petting her and it was fine. My niece got off the couch and came back a few minutes later and my dog lunged (not off the couch or anything, but a slight lunge) at her and snipped. She never growled or barked.
3. My brother was at my home painting and his friend came with him to paint, my dog came running out of her crate snarling.
4. My dog was on the couch with me and I had a friend over and he came to pet her and my dog lunged at her. Also, that same night she ran in her crate and if he walked by the she would get halfway out the crate and bark at him.
She is not aggressive with me. This doesn't happen all the time. I am concerned she is getting protective/possessive of her home and perhaps me. I spoke with the breeder I got her from and he said he never noticed aggression and she lived with multiple bullies.....
Any thoughts/suggestions???
