I am rescuing an American Bulldog from a family that can't keep him. Need a little advice please? General Dog Discussions
Max is 10 months old, male, neutered, and current on all shots. I have met him and he seems to have a good temperment with my wife and I. Apparently he snapped at one of my friends children during feeding and his wife says it's goodbye time for him. I currently own a 9 yr old spayed lab and a 5 month old mini schnauzer due to get neutered. After all of the reading I have done I suppose my main question would be, is he too old to adapt to a new family with pets and children, my wife is a Vet tech and is comfortable with him, I am just concerned about dominance issues because he is a little intimidating and already about 85 pounds. I definitely wouldn't want to meet him in a dark alley. Any tips or tricks to help with initiating him into my family's pack order would be helpful. Thanks
