I like where you are coming. It’s where I always stood. But I have a female GSD and I have worked with her a lot. She can walk around with me are chickens are free range. She is an egg thief which didn’t raise any red flags for me. I still corrected her for sure. But I came home to find her ripping apart one of my good chickens. She was broody laying on a nest. But this is the third time. I have her son (neutered) as well and she is apparently taught him wrong. He went after my baby goats. You can tell he swung them around by their necks. I’ve got one with severe injuries taking her back in for sedation and possibly surgery. And the other one can eat and walk around but her jaw line is swollen. What makes me worried is that he can do this to my smaller animals I don’t trust him around my 3 toddlers anymore. My mind is set about him. I’m just torn about my female. She is 7 yrs old and has had plenty of chances. We were only gone to take little ones to their dentist appt. she tore down 30feet of good strong metal fence. This is metal sheet on metal pipe. My family says I shouldn’t pass a dog on with this much bad behavior. Nobody I know doesn’t have livestock or farm animals. And she is a protective dog and idk if she can change families. I’m torn. Any advice.
