MY FIRST DOG THAT I ACQUIRED FOR STARTING MY KENNEL.WAS MY HOUSE DOG FOR MANY YEARS BUT HAD TO GO OUT ON A CHAIN WHEN WE HAD CHILDREN.SHE HAD NEVER BEEN AROUND SMALL CHILDREN OFTEN AND WOULD GET GRUMBLY ON OCCASION.WE JUST DECIDED TO BREED HER ONE LAST TIME TO TRY FOR A FEMALE OFF HER.SHE HAS GOTTEN AGGRESSIVE WITH OTHER DOGS IN HER OLD AGE IF THEY TRY TO PLAY TO MUCH.SCARRED THE WHOLE SIDE OF HER FACE WHERE SHE TRIED TO ESCAPE THROUGH A FENCE AND GOT STUCK.I LOVE THIS DOG LIKE A CHILD AND SHE WILL NEVER LEAVE MY POSESSION.
