I don't know if this is an issue anyone else has had, but one I need help with. Lucy our B&G is a sweet heart. When we first saw her she would snuggle up on anyone. Even my 8 year old, and 13 year old son. Love on anyone even after we brought her home. Now that she has gotten comfortable we have an issue. She has become very nippy to kids since she got adjusted to our house. Even our 13 year old son, and it's not just our kids. It's their friends also. This is just an out of the blue thing also. One day she was fine the next she wasn't. Our breeder said one thing is to have our sons interact with her some while wearing heavy gloves so if she does bite it doesn't hurt them, and that she is trying to take control. We are also having our breeder make a custom stand that is shorter so she has to look up at our sons when she is out (which she is most of the time). Any ideas why she would all of a sudden become so testy like that, and additional ideas to help nip this in the bud before it becomes habit.
