I no longer have sheep but it was always my understanding that a working sheepdog that can't/won't protect itself is about as much use as a chocolate teapot. The dog is from working stock and it bites. Big surprise.What's sentimental about moving on a child biting dog? Dog bites (even nips) can easily inflict permanent facial scarring on children.
Do you have a daughter?
What the OP is saying is
The dog bites children
They're scared to have the dog around their children
But they lack the moral fibre to put the dog down, and want someone else to take on the responsibility of their poor decisions
Other people's children can run the risk of being bitten as that's easier on their conscience than destroying a dog they've failed to train or control properly.
