Just out of curiosity, does he have the bulldog body build? In case
you've never seen one, they are very muscular, body is very solid and
have shorter legs than the whippet type body build.
Pogo is our bulldog "launch" biter who stalks everyone but me, and I
have talked to a few other people with bulldog types who have noticed
the same personality traits in theirs. Pogo is in hunting mode much
of the time and even has a special chant that goes along with it. I
have had success in working with other biters, even deaf ones, but
after 3 years, Pogo continues to bite all humans but me and hunts
female ferrets and beats the heck out of them. I know he's never been
abused because he's the only one I've had since he was 6 weeks old. I
can carry him around like a baby; anyone else, he bites (as opposed
to nipping). Of course, if they try bribing him with treats, he eats
the treats like a perfect gentleman and then launches at them.
The saying at my husband's work is "all men put their pants on the
same way -- except Joel, he has to stand on the bed."
