Saying goodbye

NoraGroeneweg

Well we have had Nora for 3 weeks and we are forced to give her back to her previous owner.  She was working through some biting problems with me children.  During her morning walk with my husband, she lunged at a child.  Whether she would have bit them or not we can't say.  I believe she was excited and letting out that bark/growl that can terrify anybody who doesn't know the breed.  We argued with our HOA as we were told we could have this breed but it is their sole discretion.  In 3 weeks I have fell in love with this breed and will definitely be getting a puppy in the future, after we move lol.  If we could have raised her from a pup I believe none of this would have happened.  The good news for Nora is that after the previous owner sold Nora's male friend, Sparky, they have asked to take Nora as well.  So it looks like she will get to be reunited with her old friend.

Hope you'll still stick around and participate while you wait for the right time to get a puppy.  It's hard getting a dog that you haven't had the opportunity to train them properly from a young puppy.  It is good news that she's reunited with Sparky.  When the time comes around to have that BT puppy, you'll have the best companion you could imagine.

So sad that you didn't manage to keep her. Let's pray she finds a happy home. I know it's tough adopting a grown Bullie that someone else didnt bring up properly.

I'm sorry to hear things didn't work out. Unfortunately it's always a gamble rescuing a dog when you really have no idea how they were raised and socialized. Bull Terriers are normally great with children. They were actually rated at #8 Best Dogs with Kids - http://www.petmd.com/dog/slideshows/care/top-ten-dog-for-kids
