Dog Issues

We have 2 dogs, a 7 yo basset and a 4 yo adopted mix. About once every 3 months the adopted dog turns violently on the basset. Did it again tonight and, although it was for just a second, drew some blood from her.
Wife (no pics, but hot, trust me) says enough is enough. Though part of me agrees, part of me is torn, because my 10 year old has really taken to the adopted dog. Tries to train her, spends a lot of time with her, and would be heartbroken if we were to get rid of her. Already said tonight, we just need to let them play apart (they sleep and stay in separate areas).
Other than take the collar off, let her run in the woods, and let someone shoot her, WWTOBD?

I’d probably shoot her myself if nobody I knew wanted her.
You could likely bring her back to the adoption place or something if that’s not your speed. Don’t turn the dog loose or drop it off somewhere. It’ll be someone else’s problem that way.
I lost dogs when I was a kid. It sucked, but it’s one of the first ways you learn about suck.

Are there any specific triggers to her turning violent?

nothing obvious that we can figure out.

Trying to establish dominance. The stray needs a new home or a 22 bullet

i'm not a dog shooter and feel bad for it, as it is probably a product of it's upbringing. it wasn't surrendered, but left at Yelps door in a cage with long matted hair covered in piss.
I'll probably reach out to them and see if they can help place it. Kid may deal better if she knows it goes to a good home.

Beat the shite out of it if it does it again. If it does after that beat the shite out of it worse than you did the time before. If it does it a third time...pew pew pew.

I remember when I was a kid my uncle had one of my ex show cows as a pasture cow. She was the first one I won hardware with so I was pretty attached.
She prolapsed having her first calf while we were having a family thanksgiving party. The calf died, and normally a prolapsed cow is shot and buried. Because it was mine and I was there and being a little emotional they called the vet to come try to save the cow. The vet ended up saving her but I think my uncle got kill cow price for her at the stockyard which probably didn’t cover the vet bill back then.
Looking back I feel guilty about that. He should have shot her. When he was a kid there’s no doubt how that would have played out.
If the dog is a problem then get rid of it. Next thing it gets pissed at might be your kid. Bring her in for adoption.

Thanks, guys. I've reached out to Yelp to see what our options are. Talked to my daughter and she seems to be handling it well.

I had a GSD that would never think about biting a person, but she would go after female dogs without hesitation. I also had a few girlfriends roll out of my bed to find their panties torn to shreds. As smart as that dog was, and she was the best dog I ever had, I still couldn't take the female part of her brain out of her.

So 1 day out of 90 and you want to get rid of it? There has to be a trigger if they are fine 89 other days together. There are behaviorist out there you can talk too. FOTA has a good one. Her name is Ann but I can't remember her last name. She worked with our GSD
