    I'd be concerned TBH but at the end of the day it's your decision. The thing that stands out to me with most dog attacks is how they will say that the dog never bit anyone before or showed aggression. That freaks me out just thinking about it.

    We had a miniature fox terrier and he was the best dog. Very well trained and was an excellent kids dog we had loads of fun with him. Then he started growling at visitors and bit a kid that got down in his face. He turned very aggressive seemingly overnight Wasn't long after that that we noticed his eyes didn't look right and sure enough he had cataracts. He ended up getting put down at 8yo.

    Anyhoo what I'm getting at here is that you can bring the dog up the right way but they can still turn aggressive. Even when they've not shown it before. In hindsight our doggie was obviously distressed by visitors due to his failing eyesight but we didn't know until it was obvious what was wrong with him.
