Boxer Pal
A few years ago, a stray wondered onto my sisters property, he's HUGE we actually saw him from far away and thought he was a deer. Hes a boxer-pitt mix, im not sure if he was dropped off or not since we live in the country. My sister fell in love with him and i know he loves her. He used to be so sweet never aggressive towards the other dogs or humans, i used to roll in the grass with him. But in the last year hes become aggressive towards her dalmation which is also a male. Mind you, my sister owns 3 dogs(dalmation, pitt-boxer, and a lab boxer mix which is female) and my parents which live not 30 yards away also own 3 (a corgy a toy poodle and a dashound.) Well the dalmation ended up with a few scars and a hole in his abdomen which was a very expensive surgery. He's aggressive with my husband and just recently, like in the last month became aggressive to me when i go over i have to sit in the car and wait for someone else to come up and get him, but after im out of the car he seems to be fine with me then i can play with him. My sister thinks she knows everything.. she watches "the dog whisperer" religously she says its our fault b/c we show fear, and it was the dalmation (pepper) who caused the fight where he got injured. i have a 3 year old son and my nephew who lives with my parents and my other sister is 7. hes not aggressive to them but im so afraid one day he will turn cause you never know. i saw he sticky at the top about contacting a proffessional, but how do i tell my sister thats what she needs? scooby (the pitt mix) loves our puppy duke whose 10 wks, and today my sister brought down max our 2 yr old boxer and he wasnt out of the car literally 2 seconds and scooby was after him nothing happend since my dad was holding scooby...i dont want it to come down to someone getting hurt for her to realize what needs to be done... i guess i just need someone elses opinion about the situation, i know what i need to do but i guess how to go about doing it is the question.. thanks for reading this far im sorry its so long i look forawrd to your feed back
