Hi Terry:
Chows are very unpredictable dogs I agree. I don't have any problem
with the one that I have, nor the one before her, but I certainly would
never suggest one as a pet to anyone. She as well, as her predecessor,
is a one person dog. She will tolerate others, but just don't push it.
Pit Bulls on the other hand, I wouldn't trust at all. We have had too
many Pit Bulls right here in the city attack people without warning or
cause and do some horrible damage up to and including death.
Dobermans, I don't know that much about. But I do know that my dad was
terrified of them. I have a feeling though that went back to WWII and
Germany.
German Shepherds are big babies. I grew up around them, and never had
any problems with them whatsoever.
I honestly think the temperament of a dog is determined by it's owner.
A little genetics, and a lot of environment. :)
