Confusion over for now I believe. Reading back I can see the relevance. I think from now I will always quote what I comment on to prevent it happening again :). I think perhaps that too much weight was given to the general nature of this breed and maybe a little assumption crept in? It is...

I know!! Its 1 of the reasons we took him on really. This type of aggression is generally unheard of in the breed. Oh well, win some, lose some eh!
