@Nancy-Berry good morning Nancy. I just want to give you an update on Cutler. My wives parents have stepped up and are trying to see if Cutler can fit there. They have always enjoyed Cutler and think it could be a good fit. If not, you will be the very first person I contact. Let's give it a few days and I will let you know. Thanks again to you all during this tough &new terrain we're going through.

@DebraDownSouth I appreciate your post and thoughts. I didn't state in theearly post what all I have tried. We actually crated, put up, and even muzzled Cutler for over a year. It has only made it worse. I can only assume it is a desire of his to bite and when he is removed from people it only makes the desire worse. The way you said it was "my failure " was harsh considering you have NO IDEA the extreme measures and inconveniences that my family has been through trying to help Cutler. The reason I have went to this extreme is because we have tried everything.....and locking Cutler away from everyone or every time we have company is unfair to us & him. We love this dog but a lawsuit is something I cannot afford and locking a dog away is also something I do not believe in.
So
@tanza I have not. To be honest, I don't have their info anymore. I would have to search for them. Thanks, I will try that also.
@eeeefarm I agree 100%. I believe the same thing here. This is not easy for me and we truly love Cutler....That is the main reason I joined this group. I truly want to take all measures possible for my buddy Cutler. However, my luck and or time is running out. We cannot keep taking this risk.
Thanks guys
I cannot ask my kids to continue to not have friends over to play or spend the night. The main reason I am reaching out here is because I don't want to put him on a chain or even keep him outside all the time. 2 of the 3 attacks have been on the inside of my home. The 3rd was when the kids were playing tag and one of the kids "forgot" and opened the gate to run through the back yard and my dog attacked him.
We love Cutler, but I cannot continue to be a prisoner in my own home because of his problem. We don't deserve that and neither does he.
Thank you for your ideas, Naz
Here is my email. Thank you
Good evening,
I have a 7 year old Basenji that we need to find a home for. "Cutler" is truly apart of our family and has been a great friend for my 11 year old son. He is a full blooded Basenji that I purchased from a breeder in Georgia.
Here is where the problem comes in. We moved two years ago to a neighborhood where more kids live. He has a fenced in back yard and has become very aggressive towards the kids. He has bitten 3 of them and I just can't continue to run that risk. We tried a trainer but that was unsuccessful.
I do not want to follow the advice of the Vet and that is to make that "hard" decision. Why that is so hard is because Cutler is such a good boy when he is with his family.
He has been neutered
d and is in great health. If you think that you would be willing to give Cutler another opportunity at life. Please touch base with me.
We live right outside Nashville, Tn
As always, Blessings on you!
