What Type of Aggression is Least Acceptable?

What type of aggression do find least acceptable, out of all types of aggression?

**JakodaCD OA** · 12-30-2011, 07:24 PM

I voted human aggression..All other types can be managed, and while dog to human aggression 'can' be managed, it's a huge liability that can be a royal pain in the butt to live with

Hands down for me...people aggression.

Assuming there's no threat, definitely human aggression.

I like breeds that can have and should have appropriate human aggression. If they're my dogs.

I don't particularly want to meet someone else's dog like that

but like a dog that is ready to go Mendlebaum on someone - not willy nilly, but appropriately.

Well, I lie, I don't mind a dog that is a little off as long as I can control and protect them, but do not think it is a good thing, I just think that for the people who don't mind and can keep them safe, it's nice for the few dogs we can help to do so. For a dog that you can't make any mistakes with, well, no.

I do not like dogs that cannot be around or live with other dogs. I do not like dogs that have dog aggression written into their standard or are well known for that.

YES! Izzy Mandelbaum! 80 years old but strong as an ox.

The poll doesn't allow me to vote. It must realize that I would make more than one choice.
Human [aggressive to humans]
Fear-based [only aggressive when fearful]
The first is unacceptable, the second is uncontrollable.

#1 dad!

When my dog Kramer (black and tan in avatar) got old, that's what I would call him - and would let him have "Go Time" that I stopped when he was younger because he really enjoyed it. He was a little off. We were a good team.

But did he ever pull out his back?

This would be my vote as well if I could vote twice.
