Okay, here's the answer (and not to go against the concept recently talked about – and I agree) but: As to me teaser: Oji was so switched on in those two pictures because of this: My daughter and I played a quick game that had us throwing a semi-deflated balloon at each other and trying not to get hit by it. Oji is very stimulated/reactive to physicality. Really, I've been working his whole life to keep him calm – especially in the house! So, when he saw me playing this game and urgently moving to avoid being struck by the thrown balloon, he got very excited! His reaction was to come at me and get jumpy and nippy. I tried to keep the excitement going as I grabbed my phone and snapped the pics. Even on a sit, he was still amped up and ready to, umm, I guess bite Master.

Oji strikes me as a Dobe that would naturally do what people dream about – get physical if someone took a swing at me. Problem is, without training, it seems his reaction might be to bite ME.
