danounet, I do worry about having the bad luck of my next bp having an attitude - my first two were such good pets - never any aggression.

I am sooo torn because if I thought I could turn these two RTB's around - I think I would give it a try. They arent horrible - but they do have the tendency to "s" up and prepare to strike when I reach in to get them to the point where I get a snake hook to move them closer to the door and then reach in and get them - at this point is where they try like hell to escape - my bp's never do that.
