My daughter moved up north(NJ) from Florida. She has a mix Stafford shire Terrier and Boxer(Not positive on the Boxer part). He has grown to be quite a big boy. He lived with my wife and I along with another dog for a year or so after she got her dog. I made the rule that if and when she moved out that she was to take the dog with her. She understood. Well now that she is living with her BF the dog is not happy. He has growled at the landlord, hates the BF and she wants to bring him back down here. I am totally against this. He is a good dog but he is very big and plays very rough. Two dogs is much louder and can be quite annoying. Having one dog is great. Adding him back into the equation makes the whole house very different and I want no part of that. Now I am the bad guy when all along I said when she moved out she was to take him with her. How can I solve this problem without having her mad at me or have the dog brought back down here?

He is NOT a “good dog” if he is growling at the landlord and hates the boyfriend. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Who cares is she gets mad at you, it isn’t your problem. I can’t believe the landlord is even allowing this. Most don’t allow pit bulls. Hopefully your daughter will do the responsible thing before someone is hurt.
You probably can't. She's going to blame you for not solving her problem.
If you really don't want her mad at you, you can let her manipulate you into doing what she wants.
or you can stand by what you've said all along and make her take responsibility.
Your choice.

OttoR, what is bolded I agree with. But one needs to be careful about clumping the various molosser breeds together like that.

You know, what I think is the best solution? TAKE THE DOG BACK. Then find it a GOOD HOME. And spend a bit of time to make SURE it is going to a good and proper home.
Do that, and you should have a happy daughter, a happy wife, no problems for yourself, and a happy dog. R-e-s-p-e-c-t all 'round.
