That definitely sounds like a nightmare @Annb
That definitely sounds like a nightmare @AnnbThey are not neutered. Alistair agreed with me that Hector, at the very least, must be - asap. He will be going to see his new "Uncle Hector" (our local vet is called Hector) very soon. DIL was told that Mollie has just gone through her heat and that Hector was kept away from her while it was ongoing. Can that be believed? I wonder. I believe that the breed, whether pure bred or not, needs to be worked or boredom may lead to aggressive behaviour. My feeling is that Hector needs to be rehomed again to someone who knows what they are doing with him, whether Mollie likes it or not, and that Mollie needs to be neutered pretty rapidly as well - plenty of other dogs locally even if Hector is no longer there or capable.
We can hope. Not very convinced though. Al seems adamant but, when confronted by DIL, he usually gives way.Your deductions are sound. Let's hope D-in-L is open to common sense.
Really good that the views of the people who have Mrs L's best interests at heart are being taken into account.Dogs need nurturing and training and development to be trained for domestic homes.
But I have always felt, the owners need the training and understand that domesticated dog is still an animal, not a pet, or a trophy, to be spoiled or treated as a human would be.
A well trained dog and owner can become a family.
Mrs L is on the mend and it seems that the physical health problems are in control now.
However, Mrs L 's mental state is concerning the specialists. Along with the falls.
So Mrs L is remaining in the present hospital ward under supervision until there is a care home available for her.
The people that matter behind this decision do have her best interests at heart, with the family being a major factor in this decision.
I only hope that it works this time. I'm absolutely fed up with sitting in hospital wards.
Take care out there, it's baltic, and enjoy the snow if you see it.
Best wishes.
Yes, I do agree that you need the right skill set and the right raw material for a good outcome.All the best for a swift and happy outcome with Mrs. L.
You are so right with your dog observations. They are so easy to train, and so lovely when well-behaved. but you need the skills set and the right raw material.
The trouble with these dogs is that they are developed to guard flocks of sheep against wolves. They are really working dogs, not domestic pets. It would take a skilled and dedicated trainer to keep them in a domesticated environment. Sadly, neither DIL nor my son have the skills or time to devote to training these 2 dogs.All the best for a swift and happy outcome with Mrs. L.

Glad that specialists are taking action on Mrs L's situation and taking you and your family into account as well. She is better under permanent observation right now and hopefully, it will lead to a better outcome for you both.Dogs need nurturing and training and development to be trained for domestic homes.

Hope Neil is ok @Annb8.4 at 04.00 today.
Chilly day today so it's a 4 layer one. Snow still laying on the ground and it looks pretty grey out there, so there may be more. Neil went over on the ice when he went to take rubbish to the bin last evening. He didn't seem to be badly hurt but we'll see how he is when he gets up this morning.
He's OK this morning, so no harm done.8.4 at 04.00 today.

Happy 96th to your MIL. Be careful on those roads and watch out for idiots who don't know how to drive on snow and ice.Morning all from a, rare, snow covered L.A. to start the return to almost normal. MIL is 96 today so two boys and two grandchildren visited for a celebration. We need to collect two children from school in Cambs later but definitely a day for the longer route along main roads. Fen roads in snow and ice aren't the route to take: a trip into a fen ditch is usually fatal. Best wishes to you all, take care when travelling however you move about and stay warm Peace be with you all.
