Hi Alida,
I don't believe that they are misrepresenting the aggression they see.
The pup was originally sold to a woman in Calif. who after having her 4-5
months returned her because she said that she didn't get along with her
terrier. I had her back here with me for about 2-3 weeks before I resold her
to the people who are now having the problem. She never showed any signs of
aggression while here.
They have explained the problem to me like this:
If Holly gets a toy or something she isn't supposed to have when they
try to take it away from her she will growl and act aggressive to them.
Other than that, she is very outgoing and friendly with everyone and with
other dogs. I never saw any aggression while she was here, but I'm sure that
she remembered me as Mom.
My thoughts were that maybe the Terrier and she had a problem with
toys and possessions which may have started this whole behavior. I told them
to take a rolled up newspaper after her when they wanted to take something
away instead of just trying to grab it. I also thought that maybe offering a
treat as a distraction when taking something away might help to reinforce it
being a good thing to give something up for something else.
