Cash is a female Staffordshire terrier, almost 5 years old. We’ve had her since she was 1. She is very sweet & cuddly, however after a year with our 2nd dog, she started to become aggressive & attack our other dog. She is now dog aggressive with any other dogs and does not like children (multiple times has tried to bite kids). We’ve dealt with this for over 2 years now and now we are having a baby so we can’t have a dog that is aggressive towards kids. Over the last 2 years, both dogs have to take “shifts” in the main part of the house with us otherwise she will attack our other dog if they are together inside. She will have to be in a home with no other dogs or children. She is totally fine with every adult person she has ever met though, in fact very loving of people. She is kennel trained but only sleeps in her kennel at night. When we leave during the day she stays out in the house & we’ve never had problems with it.
