Sounds like as much or more that he’s challenging you than feeling threatened. He wouldn’t make it here. You can probably fix a lot of that but the way I am, I wouldn’t like his natural demeanor enough to feed him another kibble. We all have vises that we will tolerate when it comes to dogs. For me, biting and fighting are my two biggest dislikes. I have ZERO tolerance for either. Either get along or you’ll get along lol.

Yep…when the dog feels threatened and defends himself and you backed down…now the dog knows he can challenge you anytime he dislikes something you want from him…it is much harder to break a dog once this happens…know when and how much is key…
Even a chihuahua will come out fighting when he feels threatened when cornered…
That is why I said earlier that you must know when and how much discipline to apply…if you like your dog
