So my dog is the biggest softy I have ever met and 90% of the time she is a sooky mummas girl, unless she sees another brindle and its like a switch flicks in her and she turns vicious in a second, this has happened multiple times with different dogs, different locations and all the above. I have always done a pig dog lead hold and just hauled her straight out And the second she can’t see the dog she is once again fine.
I have a running theory that it is because she was a runt in a hunting litter of what was likely other brindles and may have picked up aggression/ anxiety from her siblings rejection but I wanted to reach out and see if it was something anyone with more dog experience than me (she is my first dog) might have seen or heard of happening before and why it was like that and what was done to fix it or what kind of anxiety training I could try.
also she has great relationships with dogs of different colours, and it doesn’t seem to matter the breed of brindle just the fact that it is brindle
