4) Biting is a defense mechanism for them when they feel threatened, and it’s usually not something that’s thought out. It’s simply their first inbred reaction.

Then too, if some visiting toddler isn’t supervised, that dog may react with biting when his fur is inadvertently pulled or his paw is stepped on. How many times have you yourself tripped over him rushing to answer the phone, or stepped on his paw while cooking? It happens. You must make sure he’s not going to respond with a quick bite to your ankle or to a young child’s arm when things like that happen.
