Wow man, very sorry to hear about your ordeal. :/

I hate to say this thread makes me feel better, but it does.. I had a Viszla, also rescued for maybe 5-6 years. He was a great dog, never barked at people or other dogs, was fine around children, just generally good natured and loving.

But, he would bite people randomly sometimes, one bite and retreat. This would especially happen if I had to go somewhere and leave him with friends, etc. The first big dog fight I was witness to happened at my dad's cottage, I had my dog there, he has a dog too, they get along great. My dad's dog is a bit bigger, and my dog just constantly tried to hump him, the other wouldn't let him.. Just back and forth with that, no problems.

However.. Since he was off leash outdoors, he had staked out his territory (or at least was protecting it for my dad's dog, aka their territory).. And when other dogs came within his boundaries, it was on.. He would just race over as fast as he could and attack full force.. He got into his first fight with a dog who had killed 30 sheep, and was there because it's so far away from the city, yadda yadda.. I got my hand bit pretty bad breaking that one up.

Then he kept doing it.. whenever a new dog would come into the picture, he'd just fuckin attack.

So I had a baby recently, and thought it would be okay.. I brought the baby home, the dog reacted pretty good.. But after seeing that my little petite wife was going to have to shield the baby from the dog jumping up etc, I realized this wasn't gonna work out.. Too much stress and hassle, and if the dog did something bad one day, it only takes once..

I made my decision, and I sent my dog to live with family in Mexico.. Since then, he's bitten at least 12 people there, and beats up their elder Rottweiler any chance he gets. Sigh.

Anyways, makes me feel better knowing that I made that right decision, as painful as it is to come home and not have my dog welcome me.. Shit right now he'd be here under my desk at my feet :/
