only vampire dogs.

I would say .. "tasted blood" = absolutely not

got into a scrap = possibly would fight again as a result, but who knows

No absolutly not... They will feed off your fear so stay calm, slack the lead and be normal. Marley was attacked by a gsd and now he is friends with it. Its how YOU handle the situation. Get da out of your head but remain cautiouse not fearfull.

Agree with this.

i totally disagree my old boy Oscar was badly treat and used for fighting before i rehomed him and i had never met a softer more loving dog in my life i got him then i brought in a husky and they slept together ate together and along other dogs too he was fine i never had any trouble with him at all it a load of S*** a dog will feed on what u feed it and also respect your commands so stay calm with sash and walk normal just like before the incident she will be fine but remember to stay calm and reassure her all the time

when i said i rehomed him i mean i took him in (just to clear that)

how is sash now she ok?

If you mean literally, then definitely not, or our dog would all be psychos . But if you mean in the sense that once they've had a fight they'll do so again, it's certainly possible, but not guaranteed, and not even common, I'd imagine.

In the sense of a good dog tasting blood then going bad, no. but if a dog "creates" the blood (i.e. attacks etc) then it is usually likely to. But not because of the blood but because it is already predisposed. Lexi is DA and will fight until she is taken away, but she doesn't attack every dog she sees and won't attack a dog that sniffs at her just because shes after blood.
