Well that's no good-its rare but aggression is sometimes neurological and you should definately let the breeder know.
Lets hope its fear aggression-that's often fixable over time.
It seems you are on the right track with a trainer that's familiat in recognizing and working with you on a solution for behavior modification.
Scoobers had really bad dog aggression when I first got him it took a lot of work but he is very social now-if I can do it you surely can. It will be a rough road but so worth it.
