Thank you all for your thoughtful replies.
I realize that the dogs were just being dogs and the environment was a set-up for the tradegy.
Thank you so much for all your sound advice.

It's a horrible situation, there is a lot of good information on this site that you might want to look through at your own pace. And when you are ready I think I can speak for the board and state that we will do anything we can to help.

No advice from me also, other than to say I am very sorry for you and your daughter, awful, terrible devastating and heartbreaking for all concerned...
No criticism either, there but for the VERY great grace of god...

I got two prey (now three) prey monsters and the only thing I can suggest is some very hard training, If you tell your dog to let go of something it should have same authority as G-D, Woe and lamentations for non compliance and great reward for obeying Your Voice. This is were E Collars prove their worth. My Roxie goes nuts for deer. I set it up, the deer here are on a schedule, when she went after them she got folded in half for blowing me off. Next night she started the chase and recalled the second I called. Before you run out and get an E collar be sure to get the training vids Ed sell and follow them exactly. Roxie understood the correction was coming from me and not the deer.

It's very sad that this happened but you should not blame the dogs. What's done is done. Take your time to calm down, don't hate your dogs for what they did.
Any dog larger than 20KG should be very well trained, poor training is a hazard, a tragedy waiting to happen. Your dogs simply did what they knew best, they actually made no error. Dogs are predatory animals - those sharp teeth are there for a purpose.
I have a dog that was people aggressive, it is a real sweet looking black lab. When I tell people how ferocious he was they don't believe me which is an error on their side. I trust him, but I also know him well so that I don't expect him to be perfectly calm should a cat or a small dog run by. I know what to do in that scenario. I let kids pet him, he never had troubles with kids, but I keep my hand firmly on his collar - one tiny nip from him and you get a lawsuit, a dead dog and god knows what else... I tell people to stay on a safe side, but who could resist such a cute labrador...
