All I know is you don't read about a lot of mauling by Golden Retrievers.
You do about Pit Bulls, Rotts, and Shepard's. Operating on this simple
principle and a the fact there are innumerable other breeds out there, I
would never own one. And that same belief leads me to the belief that
most
(not all) people who do own them own them for the wrong reasons, they had
other options and chose the dangerous one.


I have a Rotti x Pitbull. A nicer dog would be hard to find. It is
protective of the house but lets kids grab her round the neck while she
walks along with them dragging behind.



Mom and Dad inherited a Shepherd back when they were renovating a
farmhouse. For some reason, they thought they needed a bigger house for
five kids . . .

When the dog moved in, she IMMEDIATELY became "Mom's Dog."

There was one guy on the HVAC crew whom Mom didn't much like. Peabo
wouldn't let him into the kitchen (the divide between the old house and
the addition was there).
