Littleriver, I can't help but agree even though it stinks to think about. Now granted, there may be some chance that it is a socialization problem rather than genetics. In that case, you might be able to get it under control and by all means should try. If it is genetics, I believe the risk is inherent and will never go away no matter the dog's environment. In my opinion that is why some of the more irresponsibly bred pit bulls that are such nice dogs suddenly turn on some kid and do serious damage. They're are genetically inclined to do that. You hear a lot from dog trainers (not hunting dog trainers) the phrase "there are no bad dogs." That in my opinion is bogus. I think there are lots of them. To say the only reason a dog would be bad is if it had a irresponsible or "bad" owner is ludicrous.

vadeerkiller, your post seems to say your dog only does this around other people but not the family. In that case, maybe you can "rehab" her. Give it your best shot. But just don't let it get to the point that your family or a person can be hurt by the dog. Good luck to you and your dog!
