[quote=Anonymous]Thank you all. I have known for weeks that getting rid of him is the answer but it's just so hard. He saved my life and I don't know how to be without him. But the kids come first, always.

We have had him for 6 years. The kids are 1 and 2.

To explain the abuse and inbreeding, I do know for a fact that he was abused because it was done by my own family member which is how I ended up with him. The inbreeding is due to the backyard breeder he was purchased from by my family member. His papers show the same dog on both sides.

We have spoken with a local trainer and she isn't sure she can take him on since he is so protective of our property that she hasn't been able to get out of the car when she has tried to come see him. Honestly, even if he was able to be trained, I don't think we could ever trust him around our children because of how he has acted in the past. He has never attacked the kids, but he has attacked DH and me several times.

We have also spoken with a local rescue and they won't consider him until/unless the trainer can see him and make a recommendation. I will look into breed-specific rescues.

I don't know where to go from here. I'm heartbroken and scared. No matter what I do, it's the wrong thing.[/quote]
