Dog's Name: Percy, Report: 040102

Breed: = Saint Bernard mix
Age: = 3
DT/BM: Percy has been a loving, family dog since we received her.  She has had a problem chewing up furniture until this day. She has always chased our cats away. She is a close companion to our English bull dog who is the same age(male). Of last, the last two months she has attacked our older (male) basset hound (5yrs old) she has bitten him so badly he had to be treated by the Vet for the deep wounds to his neck.  He was in the hospital for a month,there were complications to his recovery i.e. infection, discharge etc.  When he returned home this week we kept them apart for five days, yesterday she got loose and when she came near the basset hound she immediately became Cujo and bite his neck.  He does not fight back, but if we did not stop the attack she would have done serious damage.

Now there is a person who is willing to take Percy to Texas to a farm where she can run freely.  We love her very much and would prefer to keep her, but cant see how this would ever work out.  A trainer came over but couldn't work with Percy and the basset hound while he was recovering.   She spent a lot of time teaching Percy and the Bull Dog sit and heel but did not address the aggression.  The basset is no fearful of Percy he does not want to be alone.  Tonight she is with the person who is willing to take her to Texas next week.
