Ouch!
We had a miniature pincher that bit my daughter once. She was about three and spinning around the room (dancing) and he just lunged at her and clamped down on her arm giving her a good gash that required stitches. We assumed an isolated one time thing, and then about two months later he did it again this time in her face again requiring stitches. We had to have him put down as I fractured his hip when I kicked him across the room against the wall to get him off of her.

Not that this is always the case, but it is my experience that once they have shown they will bite, they will bite again. I have had many dog’s in my life and none of them ever bit other than this one. I’m sure you love your dog (possibly not as much right now with your face all swollen) But I will never risk the safety of my children or grandchildren again on an assumption that “it’s a one time thing”

luckily for us it's just me and my mom here.

I am certainly going to be more careful around him. The only thing that threw me off was he did not growl before hand he just snapped. I was petting him earlier and he was wagging his tail happy as could be...

I hope he does not show aggression anymore.

He is a 7 year old Akita.

in his defense we were flicking his dry food across the room and he chases it and eats it. I was a little too close I think and he turned around really quick and bit me.

I agree with Jim. It's really a tough call. When I was growing up, we only had one dog that bit, but, like Jim said, it was more than once. After he almost removed a neighbor kid's leg, he got put down. I mean, as my dad told us, "We took him to the country to live on a farm."

:beatyoass: I learned (very painfully) as a little kid to not mess with dogs' food.

If he was going to be passive-aggressive, I think it would've already been a noticeable trait.
I hope it's an isolated incident. But I'd leave his food alone from now on. ;)

I just hope this doesn't turn into a thread like that one about Pit Bulls....blah blah.:flame:
Hope ya heal soon, dog bites suck hard.

my friends dog used to bite my hands up all the time, even when i wasnt playing with it. tiny little  messed my fingers up once or twice:mad:
none of the dogs i ever had bit me for real though, all were pretty docile for being "aggressive" breeds.

We have been playing that game with his food since he was little. I think he is just getting too old for it now.

My brother has two pitbulls.  They are great dogs, but Mischa is a little sensitive and will snap if you try to pet her on the head (until you reaaaally know her) but she always acts sorry when she does it, its more of a natural response that she can't break.  Actually, Mischa just plain hates people she doesn't know, but once you really get to know her, she's so sweet.  Mather, who's built like a tank likes to bite Mischa in the face and sometimes when he gets a bit playful will actually try to bite me in the face.  He doesn't mean anything malicious by it, he just doesn't realize how incredibly powerful his jaws are.  A stern no and he snaps out of it.  He's friendly to everyone.  God help anyone that tries to break into thier house though, because Mischa will attack and once Mather realizes its a real threat look out as fast and strong as he is.

This may sound like I am an ass, but if a dog, even my own, did that to me, it would go to dog heaven. that is just me though. easy choice for someone with three kids though.

Akita != Pit Bull

Akitas can have issues with dominance. If it wasn't a blind accident, it looks like you aren't the alpha dog in the house.
