Thanks! My husband brought his 6 year old pointer into our relationship, and I/we lived with that dog another 8 years. She was wonderful with people but could have zero interaction with other dogs - not even on walks.

I vowed to never knowingly get another dog-aggressive dog again. It’s a serious dealbreaker for me.

Now if my dog were to (god forbid) get attacked and become dog-aggressive over the course of our having them, it would be another story. Otherwise, I’m doing everything in my power with socialization, training, and medication to never experience years of somewhat lonely pet companionship ever again. It’s an oxymoron (“lonely companionship”), but it’s true.
