I agree. I used to have the biggest, meanest-looking rottweiler you've ever seen. He was also one of the most loving pooches I've ever had, as well as the most stupid (which, incidentally, only added to his charm). Of all the dogs I and my family have had, oddly enough, airedale terriers and a black lab were the most ill-tempered and aggressive.
Here in Arkansas, we have a lot of pit bull attacks, many resulting in death. Unfortuately, the people who acquire them do so because they WANT a mean dog, and if they don't think it's mean enough, they will deliberately make it meaner. The reason we have attacks is because the people who own these dogs are also under the delusion that they are not required by law to restrain their dog - of ANY breed - in any way. Any dog allowed to roam at will has the potential to do harm to someone. What really ticks me and most everyone else off is that these people get pretty indignant when they're told Killer will have to be put down because he mauled a 4-year-old to death. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Owens" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, November 05, 2004 10:00 AM Subject: Re: Re: White Pitbull (an hommage to Elliott Erwitt) > Many people have the same opinion of Rotties, Dobermans and German > Shepherds.
