[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A bite might actually be less likely in OP’s house compared to some other posters in here because they are being so careful about noticing the dog’s warning signs and respecting his boundaries.

All dogs will bite if pushed to their limits.[/quote]

Sigh, no. The dog is not less likely to bite. It’s like you people have no experience with dogs. [/quote]

Have to agree. I had to euthanize my lab mix who we had made many modifications for, such as the OP describes. His behavior escalated over a period of months even with trainers and tons of exercise and precautions. The vet said he likely had some kind of faulty wiring and/or extreme lack of socialization (we know he was living in a backyard with his litter mates the first 5 months of his life). He was great in so many ways, too, and we loved him and I know he loved us. But he still ended up being aggressive in several situations and it wasn’t safe to have him in our house or community. I am NOT saying this will happen with OP’s dog and I also don’t think the percentage of pit is the reason to worry. Rescues can just be unpredictable, period. I have had 3 and none were stable (though only 1 was dangerous). I am going to a reputable breeder for my next dog and don’t know if I will ever feel comfortable rescuing again (I hope so). [/quote]
