In the 1970's it was the German Sheperd with the bad rap, in the 1980's it was
Doberman & Rottweiler, 1990's the Pitbull. All are powerful and intelligent
breeds, but no matter the situation, it is always the responsibilty of the
owners/handlers of these dogs.
My daughter is a vet tech, many of the dogs that bite while in for vet visits
are toy breeds.
All dogs are to be considered unpredictable and capable of biting.
With proper upbringing and training, Pitbulls are an exceptional dog for
responsible owners.
We should all remember that a Golden Retriever is capable of attacking a d
mauling a child or small animal. So don't blame the breed, blame the people.
