[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  I am being honest with the history. The dog has not bitten the DH, DW or kid(s).

The dog was WITH the DH when nipped someone, WITH the DW when bit someone, and WITH one of their kids when nipped someone else OVER THE YEARS.

So two weeks ago when a nip happened and DH and DW sat down to discuss the incident, THAT is when they realized it's been 4 times. (3 nips and one bite that broke the skin)

But the bite/nips were not communicating or playing or holding hand in mouth or "oops." It was intentional.

There is no way they are not going to be honest about the history when trying to find a solution. They are talking about putting the dog down, so if they find someone who will take the dog, they are not going to lie about the reason and risk further problems.

I think they would agree with you 12:21 that it's a behaviorist first, (or maybe contact the breeder first, or the vet for anxiety medication), or they will put the dog down.[/quote]

It sounds like they know what they are doing. Good luck to them. [/quote]
