She's a 11 year old, spayed German Shepherd (you wouldn't know she was that old), she's still very active and she is professionally trained. The problem is, she has grown to hate our other dog. We've had them both since they were puppies, they're about 6mos apart. A couple years ago, she started attacking him, seemingly unprovoked. The fights grew more intense and scary. We hired a professional (Dear Dogs Training) who boarded the both of them for intense two week training. They also trained us on what to do, tips to prevent it, etc. it worked for a while. Now we have a baby in the home, I don't Know if this caused a regression in her behavior but it is happening again and I am fearful for my other dogs life. I am also wondering if his pannus/poor vision is causing him to not see her cues and he is accidentally provoking her. Not sure. But when it happens, it's dangerous, and I can't have this around my baby, and my other dog doesn't deserve to live in fear. I think she would make an excellent companion for someone as an only dog in the house. Other than this severe issue, she is a great dog, beautiful and otherwise sweet, and we get compliments everywhere we go with her. This saddens me because out of the two she was 'my' dog, and I've been stubborn to rehome her, but I know it's the right thing to do
