You can't handle a big dog, get a poodle.
I have a pit mix and he is not aggressive at all, my neighbor has a Spaniel that is a bitch on wheels.
All dogs are different even within breeds, so to make sweeping generalizations is just ignorant; but then we can all consider the source in your case. |

Such as when someone's dog escapes and bites a neighbor. I'm not talking about the person/family that owns the dog. Quote: |

Tsk tsk tsk

[b][color=Teal] I was bit by a terrier when I was a child and had to get stitches. Ooooh, let's ban all terriers....Whatever, this is such a useless discussion.
Have I said that? | Then what are you saying? Nothing much as usual. |
