it was all a bit strange she didnt growl or even really snap she turned really quickly with her mouth open i was bent down with her at the time to make sure she didnt jump up i just know her and relised it wasnt like her to reacted like that she does like to open her mouth when playing something im trying to get her to stop doing but this was just different :/ x

did the child go to touch her head or neck?

Im gona stick my neck out here a bit,, but I think if it were one of my lot,, I would be really upset, I would want to get to the bottom of it and deal with it ASAP, I would question myself too, Its one of my major NO NO's with my dogs.

Im a wee bit concerned at people saying not to worrie,, I dont want to start a big debate or argument,,,so please dont think thats my intention, Im more than happy to help you if you like {I have helped others on the forum with similar things} feel free to pm me if you prefer

I know ZB wont mind me adding this link, though when we were sorting it out it was all done in pms. x

Ditto hun.I wouldn't be hanging around with my dogs in this heat in the first place as it's asking for trouble.I like to walk mines first thing in the morning and last thing at night.I guess as we have Rotts we are a bit over cautious but it shouldn't matter what breed we have.I have to agree with you 100% if any of mines snapped at a child ,heat or no heat I'd be very,very worried as theres no excuse for a dog snapping at any kid,it should never ever happen, simple as,xxxxxxxxx

thanks for the pm angel, just getting ready to go open the training club,,will get back to you when I get home tonight, x
