3yr old Bullmasador
We are Dozer’s second home, but sadly we were not told the truth about his past. He spent his first two years cooped up with little training, he doesn’t even know how to play fetch or behave on a leash. There was clearly domestic violence in the home based on reactions we’ve got around our children. We have become increasingly concerned for their safety as he’s given “warnings” on the face to my young son and even myself. Majority of the time he’s a couch potato or wanting to lay on you. He’s never been directly aggressive to the point of anyone getting hurt, but we’ve also lost trust for our littles. Because he’s over 100lb of sheer muscle, he’s difficult to take anywhere not being leashed training and wanting to run after animals. We want him to go to a good home with an adult who knows how to train and work with animals. He’s a beautiful boy who we want to see given a fair shot (just not around kids). Full disclosure, he did have a seizure about a month ago. We’ve never seen him have one before this, and his previous owner stated the same. I did a full work up at the vet and it’s either a toxin exposure reaction that left his system already or possibly developing epilepsy. No meds until he has more which again hasn’t happened.
