i appreciate your concern. this decison has not been taken lightly. both the vet, his breerd, the beahvouirst and myself allt hink we have made the right decision. Finding an other home would just be passing the buck and poor Kevin would be traumatised by the moveand never be able to live a normal life anyway. he is a dangerous dog, not just an inconvenience. I ahve had this happen once before, 12 years ago. I did not put thedog down and I had him neuittred. It made no difference. In fact he still bred bitches whent hey wree season., he maimed another dog, killed a cat and finally bit me me severely. I was did not do the repsobible thing back then and am not about to make the same mistake again. That dog as it turned out, had a brain problem and it seems very likely Kevin does too. Either way, he is dangerous. Dangerous dogs are a danger to themselves and to others.
I am just thankful that the litter i was expecting from him didn't materialise.

I am very upset about this and I do appreciate your concern but please can you drop it now? All avenues have been explored and as awful as the decison is, it is the right one.

Colin, I don't know Kevin, but I'm just wondering about neutering. That can change a dog's personality. I'm supposed I'm saying - please don't give up on him.

If I found someone to take him, would you consider it?

this is very thoughtful Sarah, but not an option. It was my first thought. This dog is unstable and cannot be trusted. I have had problems with him fork when I firts got him He went for me within the first few days. He knows he can't get a way with it with me. Howevrer, other people, children and dogs are a different matter. He would one, be very unlikely to be able find somone who could cope with him and 2, would live a very restricted life, and 3 would be a sewrious liabbility and end up being destroyed anyway after more trauma for him.
