Hello! My family and I have been caring for a dog without a breed for about 2 years. We took it when he was only 30 days old and since then he has become a member of our family and we love him very much. The problem, however, is that for some time (several months), he began to fall into something like a fit of anger and began to bite everyone around. The most recent case is from a while ago. He stood very quietly and looked at something outside, and I asked my grandmother if she could take it and bring it to me. This has never been a problem because we lift it about 20-30 times a day. This time, however, after she held out her hands to him, he began to bite her, I ran to them to help her and bit me too. This is not the first time this has unfortunately happened. He only bit me when I was arguing with him, but it's very incomprehensible for me to do that. Please if a dog owner has a similar problem to write. I am afraid that over time these events will become more frequent, and we love the dog very much and do not want to part with him.

Therefore, it is better to breed than a small breed. Fifi the Bolognese or Maggie Yorkie would hardly be so naughty. Find him a sleepwalker or put him to sleep.
Why not take the dog to the vet instead of writing here? It is possible to touch a place with a high pain threshold to react like that - but who thinks, at least you irritate him
Do you beat him in general?
An animal can never be trusted. I have lived in a village for 10 years and I know this very well. This applies to all animals, not just dogs. Take him to the vet for euthanasia and that's it.
This is not a toy to pass from hand to hand. The dog shows you very clearly that he does not like to be picked up and carried, but there is no one to understand. Why didn't you invite him / her to come to you and send your grandmother to bring it to you? !! Can't he walk, doesn't he know his name, doesn't he obey? And why did you need the dog at all - to crush it, I guess? !! Apparently he does not like what you do with him, a contented and happy dog will not go to bite the hand that feeds him. Besides, for him you are his pack, who is the leader (master) your mother or your father? Does he do these numbers to them? To him, you and your grandmother are not an authority, if he bites you regularly, then he has decided that he is higher than you in the hierarchy. You did something wrong in upbringing, read dog sites. That it is not purebred is not a factor, I tell you from experience.
From the Author: Thanks to everyone for the comments, but some of them are quite hasty and rude. The dog is like a part of me and I will not put him to sleep on any occasion. We deliver it because it's very small and there's never been a problem with it not coming when you call it. I'm his alpha, I can mix it in his mouth while he eats, carry it ... it's never been a problem. Rather, he accepts my grandmother as the weakest member of the pack, and she is still afraid of him, and she clearly feels it. When he bit me, he didn't understand what was happening, as if his curtain was falling and biting, even objects ... He's nervous about something, I guess from the neighbors, who are constantly making noise, but for now I can't do anything about it. Thank you though!
In the United States, only one bite for no reason and put him to sleep.
Won't you put the dog to sleep on any occasion? So much do you know when an animal falls asleep in order to save it from suffering, if any. And it's not about your emotional comfort or discomfort, it's about treating a suffering being. Separately - you do not put him to sleep, but a veterinarian, and only after he is convinced that there is a reason for this - or suffers, or is proven aggressive, after a competent commission of cynologists and specialists. So to the question - why does it bite? - Ask my vet first - does he suffer? Either it's old or it's clicked - this happens to animals as well. There is always a reason - the dog reacts, it remains to understand what - pain, fear, reluctance, psychopathy or ... even lack of general education and socialization. To carry an animal to a person who is afraid of this animal - very clever!
