I don't really believe we took our pup for granted regarding him never biting from a very early age we picked up on the fact he had issues ones we painstakingly tried to deal with to no avail, it wasn't like our daughter was ever left alone with him, she wasn't, the attack took place before our very eyes.
I'd never owned a dog from his particular line before (but have been with the breed for a very long time) all the research before purchasing came back okay and the feedback on that line was good so we went ahead and brought him home it was only after a little digging after the incident that we found out what we did through a few of the club secretaries (yes, we should have made contact beforehand) but speaking to people who owned both lines there didn't seem to be a problem with 'those' lines.
After the attack (as we kicked up a right rigamarole within the circle at the time) the incident was mentioned in a breed meeting the breeder of that particular line was investigated and no as a result no longer breeds because serious faults were found within it, again mostly all down to aggression.
Obviously I cannot mention names but it is amazing what you find out when you create such a big storm in a very small circle.
