We got our wonderful dog Bailey from a shelter about 3 years ago; she is currently around 5. At the time, she had fairly serious aggression issues, and we've worked hard with trainers to limit that behavior. She's much much better but still can be unpredictable, getting aggressive (really only once/year or so) when she's protecting food or has been startled awake. We would happily still keep her, since we have essentially figured out how to mitigate incidents, but we are exploring our options since we are soon to have a baby and are worried about his interactions with the dog. Bailey is a VERY sweet, loving, big-personality dog and we're heartbroken to maybe give her up. But with a kid on the way, we want to explore if finding her a loving new home is an option!
