... put down? Shepherd rott mix that is very aggressive at all times

He should not be put down, but it sounds like he could use some training, or maybe put him in the backyard when you have strangers over but I would definitively not have him put down over two bites especially if he's part rottweiler because they generally guard dogs.
yes or keep him in a heavy pen strong & high enough so he can't climb out(Those dogs can climb a fence like a ladder when they want to bite a person or animal).If he kills or disables an innocent person you can go to prison possibly for life.It could be murder or manslaughter. There has been cases dog owners have been convicted of felony charges whereas unrestricted dogs have killed. You have two serious warnings a court will look at as being against you if he does more harm.If protecting you from a criminal doing you harm is another story but if attacks innocents,you are libel.Texas is getting tough on such cases as dogs have killed or seriously injured many.
I should have researched this breed more prior to getting him 4 years ago. He has always been a barker, but the last year and a half he has gotten more aggressive. We know the seriousness of this. It really is scary to know some dogs can turn on people and kill them even if they do no ill will to another. I don't understand how some animals can get so vicious, especially when we are with them coming into our own home. Still a lot to weigh in on for us to make our decision. Thanks for your input.
I understand as I have one loveable as can be until 3yrs ago a blakk gang member involved in Pitt Bull fights sprayed her with a chemical they make dogs mean with.It nearly killed her but made her kill one of my dogs and later nearly killed my smaller female and have to keep her chained behind a fence closing off prop behind and beside my craft shop as she yet tries to be back yard bully and still tries to finish what she nearly did to kill my loveable smaller dog.she is great with kids and bad guys who sneak food to her & tries to bite the other dogs who bark at gang wannabees being her friend.we have deadly crap in air constantly from several illegal sources & it has killed several of my & neighbor's pets but makes her mean so the day might come when I will be forced to shoot her to protece a person or pet and is why she now stays chained.problem is small dog she nearly killed is stupid when she breaks coller & goes back to bad dog who wants to kill her.
Thanks for the info. We are consulting with the vet this week for more advice. This is a tough call as our kids are very attached to our doggie. He is a part of our family. He is only aggressive toward people he doesn't know. We hate to seclude him from people entirely, but it may be our only option if we keep him.
