I have what other's call "vicious" dogs. I have a rottweiler and a Doberman. Yet mine are the absolute sweetest babies you will ever see. A little chawawa would be more aggressive than them.

You need to teach you puppies to not attack. It is instinct, yet you can help train them to NOT! That is what we did with our dogs. How old are they? As far as someone prosecuting...yes they could. I don't want to scare you but you also have to know for future the possibilities. First thing you need to do is put up "beware of dog" signs. We had problems with the neighbor kids and we were so worried that something might happen. To protect ourselves I called the police and they said to put the signs up. That way if someone ignored the signs and went over our 6' privacy fence anyways, they couldn't prosecute or sue. 1- they were trespassing, and 2- the ignored very clearly stated warnings. As far as a cat I think the owners if there really wanted to could call the police and pose your dogs as "vicious and ferocious". The only reason I know of all this is because of my dogs. As I said they are sweet babies and there isn't one person that isn't afraid of them, but we also did all the research and phone calls when we got them to protect ourselves and them.
Also if your babies are still small another thing to do that we did is when they are eating, go over and put your hand in their bowls and pet them etc. That way they get used to it and aren't "food aggressive". So many times that is when little kids get bitten or attacked. Now me, hubby, and my little one's (even at the age of 12 months) could mess with them and their food. The only one they are food aggressive with is each other, and that is challenging each other for "alpha" dog!

Huskies’ are in the same "stereotype” as my dogs. They are know for aggression. It is up to you to do the homework and teach them. Go her and them I suggest goggling on how to teach! I am a very firm believer that it is all in how you raise your dogs, especially on'es like ours. You can not just be passive. You need to set boundries, and rules. You need to show them who is in charge even if this means you have to spank or diciplin. Now I am not an animal beater or abuser, but I do have to show that I am still in charge. I have on more than one occasion put them down on their back witht heir paws up and held them there till they were submissive, this shows them you are in charge. The worst thing you want is a dog, especially a breed like we have to be unruly and "problem" dog!
