hi Janel...I too feel that Cosmo deserves another chance, you seem to be doing the right thing by him, getting that fence up and a getting a trainer/behaviorist to work with you was a very smart idea. Given the circumstances with Cosmo biting that child, I'm not seeing this so much as an aggression issue but more like he felt he was protecting his property and bc it happened on your properety is the reason I feel this way... now I know some people in this forum will not agree with that but you asked for opinions so I 'm just giving mine. I really don't feel that Cosmo was the only one at fault here , that childs parent is also at fault , a 4 year old child should not be unsupervised as this child was.
As for you having a baby, make sure that you continue with that training throughout your pregnancy and after, and when that time comes and you do have a child be sure to spend extra time with Cosmo so he does not start to feel jealous. Alot of times when someone has a child they begin to ignore the dog and naturally the dog may start to resent the baby, let Cosmo know that even though their is a new member to his pack that doesn't mean he is loved any less. I just want to let you know that when I got pregnant with my first child certain members of my family also told me that I was asking for trouble by keeping my Rottweiler, Well my family was dead wrong and they know it. I am now pregnant with my 2nd child and nobody has dared to tell me this time to get rid of my dogs, of course if they even tried to pull that agian, I'd tell them to go you know where...;)

Good Luck with Cosmo...
