In a recent livestream on Youtube, I mentioned the potential problems with getting an adult dog, especially from a working line. It's best to get a puppy when purchasing a large-breed dog. You just don't know what that dog has gone through, nor what potential baggage the dog may come with. This is a sad story...
14-year-old boy killed by family dog in northwestern Minnesota
BATTLE LAKE, Minn, (FOX 9) - A 14-year-old boy was attacked and killed by his family’s dog in rural northwestern Minnesota Thursday, according to the Otter Tail County Sheriff’s Office.
Shortly after 3 p.m., deputies responded to a welfare check in rural Battle Lake. When they arrived, they found a 14-year-old boy dead in the yard, believed to have been killed by the family dog, according to the sheriff’s office.
The dog was "extremely aggressive" when the deputies arrived on scene, the sheriff’s office said. For public safety reasons as well as at the request of the dog’s owner, the dog was put down. https://www.fox9.c
