Honestly I love Skipper and I wanted to keep him but I really couldn't take that chance I am sorry if I let people down but sometimes even though the decissions are hard you have to make the right choice and I choose not to put my son in harms way. I could never be sure if Skipper would do that again. I am sorry.

I don't believe that, if you have a contract with the new adopter stating skippers biting issues, then the new owners are responsible for the dog's actions, not you. If you hid it from the new adopters, they could sue you for not telling them.
