I have an aggressive male and he is so frightened you can see the whites of his eyes. However he is very protective of me. He has a bad rear. Vet said it could be back or brain related buut Can not do anything about it either way He is five years old and still squats. But he has to have stairs he can not jump up on furniture. He can jump off but not up.
