Does my ball want to bite me?

This is what I get when I open his door. Sometimes he is a puppy and sometimes he is nippy.

He's just showing you how big and bad he is, and that he's not to be messed with. I think it's adorable. Especially when they are little, striking out and balling up are pretty much the only means of defense they have.

I've had a number of babies who snapped at me every chance they got. It made me laugh. Once they tried it for a little while, and realized 1) I wasn't scared of their bluff, and 2) I wasn't going to eat them anytime I opened the tub, they quit. Well, most of them did. Every so often you get a particularly spunky one that takes a while to outgrow that phase. I've got a normal girl now who's around 6 months old, and she still likes to play guard dog. Fortunately for me, I still find it funny.

The more you handle him the more tame he'll be. I wait for my young bp to come out of her hide before I handle her. I give her a little touch so she knows I'm coming then I get her, nice and slowly. She used to look defensive now she's totally cool and relaxed.
