[QUOTE="mum2JK&TH, post: 51578, member: 1784"] Coming from a mum who's daughter has 3 scars on her face that will be with her forever, please please, be very careful. Our family dog many years ago bit husband on the hand but we thought at the time that as husband had food in his hand the dog had mistaken that husband was feeding it to him when in fact he had just moved his hand. We had no idea that aggression was setting in. Less than a month later, the dog tried to kill our daughter. Size was on her side and because she was not yet two years old that while he was trying for her neck it was to small, he bit the side of her face. She now has a long scar down her cheek and two smaller scars right beside and below her eye. It is something that lives with me forever, I should have clued in. We were told by the doctors that we were lucky she wasn't killed and/or lost her eye. She had many stitches, a week in the hospital, infections and shock. I love animals dearly and easy child eventually asked for another dog, but I will never keep an animal that shows an ounce of aggression. They are animals, the survive on instinct and no matter how much we think that we have tamed or trained them, if they feel threatened, no amount of "love" we think our animals have for us will stop them from doing what they think they need to do. I am so sorry for being a downer but this subject runs very close to my heart. If you do keep your dog, be very, very careful. [/QUOTE]
