Bits and pieces have been posted and it is time to post the whole truth. I have just not had time to sit down and type it all out for everyone. I did go ahead and post on global paw so no one has to keep quiet for me. If my old enemies attack me then I will just leave there.
The original breeder of Yukon suffered a heart attack and died before the litter was born. His wife had severe cancer so she sold the mom to a guy that she hoped would care for her and the pups. When Yukon was 4 weeks old he was taken from the mom along with all the other pups. Way to young yes but not my fault. I have no clue what happened to mom was told she was sent to a shelter, could be true no idea. The puppies were put in a tiny crate all together and left there until sold. My husbadn and I saw the puppies when they were 6 weeks old and thought well maybe we buy the male. 3 weeks later we went in and bought him, $3000 Can. We named him Yukon after his grandfather, who we knew. When we brought him home he could hardly walk from being confined in such a small space. He had major issues with the crate too. Can you blame him? NO
We took him to obedience classes which at 10 weeks of age was young but we felt it was much needed and he recieved his basic obedience in 6 lessons done in 4 weeks. He was very good and slowely the crate issues were getting much better. He still to this day pees in the crate but we rarely use it so that is liveable with us.
When Yukon was 4 months old we enrolled him in an advanced obedience class which was done privately 2 times a week for three weeks. No group lesson this time, because I had no babysitter for my kids. I think the advanced obedience class would have been better named Puppy 2 because it was more of the same things, but adding distance between handler and dog.
During this time we were invited to my best friends wedding out of town and left Yukon at a kennel which came highly recommended. There he was repeated attacked by a rotti. Even after the first incident the owner of the kennel still put them out together. Yukon since then has been very dog aggressive. Again can you blame him? NO He is fine if the dog comes on his property and they play but to meet on the street no way bad news.
When Yukon was 5 months being the stupid fool that I was we went away again but this time we left a very good friend in charge of walking Yukon. This guy was a regular visitor who new Yukon well. But for whatever reason he took it upon himself to beat the holy living hell out my baby because he peed in the crate. He even bragged this to my husband who informed me right away. The guy got a broken nose. But this started Yukon on his path of biting. To make matters worse I did not learn my lesson the first time nor the second a week later we went away just for one day, 13 hours and we hired a professional Pet Sitter. A professional! This guy also beat the holy living hell out of Yukon said it was because he growled at him, then no it was because he bit at him, then no it was because he snarled, well what was it? We found out later from my sister-in-law that the jerk took Yukon and placed him in the bathtub so that if Yukon peed it would easily wash do the drain. This was well thought out and he bragged it to my sister-in-law because she was there when we came home and she had told him she did not like Yukon.
We are going to court over this and as soon as I win, I will post his name, company worked for and phone number. Can't release that until I win though.
So this started Yukon on the path of biting and becoming a terrible fear biter. Cannot blame the poor dog one bit. He is scared out of his mind and it is because I allowed this to happen not once, not twice but three times. He is not a bad dog, he has a heart of gold. Even after me allowing this to take place he still glues himself to me and follows me everywhere.
We were getting very concerned for the kids safety and the people on the streets safety so we tried to seek outside help. After going through many many people we found someone willing to take Yukon and work with him in a non aggressive way. He left this morning. He was returned tonight and we were told to tether him to us at all times when the girls are around and to start desensitizing him very very slowely. He did not see one speck of aggression it was sheer fear and it was repairable but would take along long time. We are willing to put in that time. Yukon is not a bad dog I was a bad owner and from now on if my dogs cannot come with me, I do not go. Never ever again will anyone have the chance to abuse my dogs. Yukon is 6 months old and has live a lifetime of hell all ready.
His shoulder injury came from the first beating and was reinjured in the second. He is improving and he is getting better but he has along way to go both emotionally and physically. I refuse to re home this dog or PTS him. I will devote my time and energy to him; he deserves that; it is the least I can do for him after exposing him to this hell. I take full responsiblilty and it makes me tear up everytime I look at his small face. He tries so hard to show his to the kids and to my husband but he is scared. I have no problems with him at all and I do not understand that because it is my fault this happened to him. Poor pup, he will get so much better and never have to worry again.
I am sorry this is so long and I will not harrass any of you further about any of this. I just thought you ahd a right to now the truth and the whole truth. Thanks for reading it all because it was long winded I know. Again SORRY.
