I have a 6 month old that I have had for about 3 weeks now and he has struck at people when he is in his tub. He has also struck at me while my son was holding him (I was staring at him at the time). He has never bitten and he comes out of his defensive position while holding him after a few minutes then explores. Now the question.. Is this just him being nervous being in a new environment and with time he will chill out or is there a good chance he will be stay like this? He came from a big breeder and was not likely handled alot
