Oh gosh, both Blaze AND Domino bite, lol!:D Blaze can just be aggressive sometimes, which we're trying to break him of:rolleyes: (he hasn't bitten any of us) and Dom often bites when he's eager or hungry.:)
*edit* oops, I forgot to put "multiple choice" on voting:o Oh well.:)
My dogs don't bite at all. Most of my cats don't either, with the exception of the occasional "love nip" !

Sasha never bites she's too shy for that. The ferrets will sometimes play bite if you're wrestling with them. So far only one of our two snakes has bitten and that was the vet when she tried to look down her throat.

Lexi isn't too fond of dogs yet, but she has gotten SO much better! :D And when I say "HELP!" she comes running to come and save me...I love her! :D
Skye NEVER bites, not even for food! He licks, and he also loves to give kisses! :D

Corkscrew will nip sometimes, usually when he's not getting enough attention.

Bailey only play bites...she'll wrap her mouth around my wrist when we're playing. She never bites out of fear or because she's angry.
Peej on the other hand shocked me yesterday. :eek:
Behind us live two little dogs, a poodle and a JRT. The poodle dug her way under the fence and into our back yard yesterday afternoon! (those poor dogs NEVER get love or attention) Peej didn't like this dog being in his yard and he bit her on the leg. Not enough to do any damage...didn't even draw blood, but it was enough for him to get his point across. Missy (the poodle) immediately ran back into her own yard.
I didn't know my boy had it in him. :(

Caleb will bite when he's being annoyed. Timber only play-bites or holds your hand in her mouth to show affection. Oliver and Tobias have only ever bitten me when I have food in my hands, and they miss the food, and accidentally go for a finger.

face and neck...he tends to get carried away, and give a little nip on the ear...just love big puppy kisses.........:p

No biting from my 3. Not even in situations where it would be justified (i.e. they're being hurt). When I had to do rehab on Murph's knee, he'd put his mouth on me from time to time, to let me know it hurt, but he never bit me.

The only time Pepper ever got me good was when she stole a chicken bone from the garbage and I had to give her the heimlich. She was so scared she turned around and shredded my hand, needless to say she wasn't choking anymore.

Rarely would be the best answer for me. And the most likely candidate for a bite around here is Mickey. but even when I do the most dreaded nail clipping, even those that hate it, won't actually bite (even though they seem like they are about to)
Bailey and Lizzie, on the other hand (2 fosters) WILL bite, and you'd better believe it! :eek:

YES, a big fat capital YES! Duncan bites. Not me but he would bite a stranger or an intruder in a NY minute. He has bitten people in the past, one guy who was trying to break into our house, he bit him in the hand and the lip, and another friend of my boyfriend's that came into the bedroom where I was sleeping.
He is very over-protective of me and will bit anyone that comes near me if I am sleeping (Even Collin!) or that sneaks up behind me when we are out walking. I have to keep a very close eye on my surroundings when we are out in public. He listens to me but I have to make sure I am telling him what to do and not to panic and try to protect me. He is insecure and nervous around strangers and I have to give him very strong leadership.
It's tough owning a dog like that, let me tell you! It's been a long road with lots of time and money spent!
So those of you who think you want a dog that is protective, think again!! ;)

I didn't vote because I have different answers depending on which pet we are talking about.
Out of the dogs Buster is the only one will get a little nippy if he is jealous, but he has never really bitten.
Sometimes my kitties give little love bites, mostly Jimmy.
The chinchillas have never attempted to bite, nor has my bunny or mouse. Wyatt has bitten me once.
I was bitten by Flick, our rat snake once, totally my fault. Justin was bitten by Angel our red tail boa once, also his fault.
Out of the birds Oscar, Casper, and Charmin have never bitten. Baby has mood swings and is usually really good, but has bitten me once or twice and has attempted a few times. Romi, the lovebird, is a bad biter. Skye, Doodle, and Max are sometimes bitters too.

Tito has bit me two times. :( Once when he was getting too friendly with my bunny, so I took him by the scruff of the neck to put him in another room, and he turned around nipped me. And the other time is when I was trying to clip his nails (which he hates, he has a weird thing with people touching his paws). Now the only person how clips his nails is the vet, and only when he is muzzled. :( Bella and Bo would never even think of biting mommy. And Oliver the cat bites when playing.
Blair bites strangers who walk in my house like they own the place, or act aggressive with him, basicly he acts accordingly, if you are nice and gental to him he will behave the same way to you, and if you act agrressive with him he will get aggressive back at you lol

Kirby does not like my mom and will bite her if hes in a bad mood. he bit her finger once and she ended up with a bruised fingernail for quite sometime. so she doesnt pet him or have anything to with him anymore...

Thankfully neither of my dogs do! I think Duke did when he was a puppy though:rolleyes: Max has never bit. He only nibbles on my toes every once in a while:p;). Hobo just bites when he is playing or when he's mad.;)

Micki has bitten people, a few times actually, nobody in our family but one person jumped the fence into our yard....very smart with 5 dogs :rolleyes: and Micki bit him right in the butt, he only left a little scratch. Another time a kid came and left his bike in our driveway and came back when it was dark, Micki went after him and tore his pants but didn't get any skin. I think that there were a few other minor incidents, always with stupid people who decide that they need to go in our yard. But mostly Micki loves to lick people's faces and bite at their ears, oh if your wearing earrings he will get them off!
We had a rescue Aussie in October and we had to give him back to the rescue after one month. He was actually a really smart good dog but had some mental issues. He constantly would bite my dad in the face, he bit my cousin in the arm and my dad's friend was in our yard, the dog was great with him but he turned to leave and got bit in the arm! He also tried to eat our cats :(

No, none of my cats does that. I wouldn't tolerate it either. My daughter's boyfriend has a kitten that bites all the time; his parents don't do anything about it; they think it is "cute" :rolleyes: . I advized them to say "NO!!"every time it bites, and that they will be sorry they tolerated the biting once the cat is older!
Our bunny Billie is a biter! The only one she never bites, is my daughter Indra. I am even afraid to go in her outdoor run, as she tries to bite in our legs too :eek: . Silly Billie :D

i voted yes..because Daisy bites but only when she is really happy to see us or when we are playing...she is only three months old so surely we can teach her to stop....but right now it is cute!!!

Absolutely not...none of my animals bite or will be tolerated if they bite. I better be able to saw off their legs with not so much as a growl. The only time one of my dogs so much as growled at me, Boomer was chewing on a bone , and I approached him. I chased him down, got after him and made a huge fuss, he never finished that bone and never growled at me again. I can clip all my dogs nails, bathe them, do anything, they will not bite. The last thing I need is to be afraid of my own animals. Now Sam, if a strange person is approaching him or in the house uninvited, he will go on protection alert. He ripped a guys pants because the guy just walked in the house, without us being there.
My horse bit me once...for reasons I don't know, I was standing by her stall and stuck her head out and got me. Territorial, maybe, but I still had enough wits to give her a nice smack before she got her head back over, she never threatens otherwise, and dosen't kick. When I moved her to a new barn I picked the stall that dosen't have a place to hang her head.
Biting is not tolerated for any of my animals unless absolutely warranted.

Kia will "gnaw" on my arms and hands when we are wrestling.
She has bared her teeth and snapped at me before but I've been lucky to get out of the way.
She's never broken skin. Logan and Zam have given love bites. It makes my eyes water when Logan nips my nose.
