Question
I have had 6 danes sine 1975, I currently have a 3yr old neutered male & 3wks ago I got a female puppy who is now 11wks old,unfortunately she was not well socialized,never in the house, & very little people contact,I spoke to him via the phone & he was recommended by a friend of a good friend,she was separated from her mother ~5-6wks of age,she chews/bites me and this evening when I corrected her she came at me full force & growling, she actually scared me.Please help! By the way,when I got to the breeders house & I asked what he did for a living, his response was "I sell dogs, if they don't sell I don't sleep at night" I probably should of went back home but I didn't want to leave her there.Please help!Thanks, Sue

Answer
Aggression in a dog that size is not acceptable.  Take her back as not being typical and of merchantable quality.  Trading standards will have a field day with him.  The only other answer is to have her put to sleep she can't be trusted around children.
