We have a 7 year old Black Mouth Cur that we need to surrender. She has lived with us for the past 6.5 years. She has been aggressive towards smaller dogs and animals. Recently, she has bit two people. They did not require medical attention. However, we cannot have Maggie in our home anymore as we have young children and do not feel comfortable with them with her. Most recently, she bit a 13 year old on the face. She broke skin but the child did not require any immediate medical attention. Maggie is generally a good dog, but is overly protective and has recently been more aggressively protective.
