03/01/12

My 7 months old pitbull puppy got attacked today by a adult pure breed golden retriever. The golden retreiver was not on the leash when it came close to my puppy. After the golden sniff my dog's rear it jump and bit my puppy's back. Traumatized my puppy started to cry and get off from underneath the golden retriever. The only time the golden let go of my dog was when the owner yelled no. She did apologized and said that she doesn't know when her dog gets agressive. My puppy was left with a hole of the golden's tooth on his back. I don't understand that lots of people believe that goldens are good dogs by nature and the way it is breed. That's so not true because good dogs can come from any breed if it receives good training. Not all goldens are Marley. And there is no such a thing of best genes because goldens are mix breeds.
