[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My SIL has a 6 y.o. Australian Labradoodle that is normally very nice, but over the years has bitten a few people sort of randomly.  The last was two weeks ago and at that point, they realized it's been about 5 people over the years--not family members but strangers or aquaintences.  It's not been bad enough for medical attention but she has broken the skin.  They realize they are very lucky they have not been sued, and also realize that it is likely to happen again and the dog belongs on a farm or in a different situation.

She's normally a very well behaved, calm dog.  She's very well loved by the kids and what my SIL would like to do is find somewhere great for the dog, so her kids can feel good that she wasn't just thrown in a shelter, but is having a good life.

Is that possible with the biting history, and where should they start?  
TIA![/quote]

Contact the breeder where your SIL got the dog first.    Most breeders make you sign something that says you have to give the dog back to them.[/quote]
