As stated in the bite thread, I was very limited as what to do. If I said he bit me, Mr. biggles would be PTS no questions asked, no second chance, no nothing.

I also stated that it was a single bite, not an attack. If he attacked me I would have taken him myself to be PTS. As I fermly believe there is a huge difference between a bite (which is like a snap but with contact) & an attack & i will not tollerate an attack from any dog(puppies are different). Sorry I don't care why it attacked(being mauled, the dog not stopping, you fighting to get away, not a snarl, snap or a bite), but attack = death ASAP.

Mr. Biggles cannot be returned to the shelter as both of them have to be returned as a pair & then both of them would be PTS as a pair.

Thats why I made that post, as I was soooooo stuck on what to do. I did get good advice on how to work things out, without saying he bit me.

I told the guys that Mr. Biggles is super sensitive & showing me that he is scared/over stressed at times. I also said that when dogs get scared/over stressed like him, they may snap or bite (a quick nip, no blood, etc). Chad wasn't too happy with that comment, but it gave me time to explain why Mr. Biggles may snap & its purely out of fear(which is why he bit me). I spent an hour with the guys talking about fear in dogs, esp. the fact that these 2 might have been abused (I'm pretty sure they wern't), so they are full of fear.

That convo went great. I still will not tell Chad that he bit me. If Mr. Biggles does it again, then its safe to tell Chad as I now have taught him about fearful bites (the understanding of why & the dog is only protecting its self, its not an I hate you bite)...

I just wasn't online all weekend, so I wasn't able to update my thread.


I swear I wasn't trying to be sneeky or anything bad. I was looking out for the best in all parties. Thats why I came to PT first so I could get some advice, before I did something wrong.
This wasn't just about that thread hun. It is about a few others also, and not all yours LOL, I am glad you talked to Chad. However my personal opinion stands for me. I would be very upset if as an owner, co owner or otherwise , if that type of information was willfully withheld.
