Well said.

I run into people who have no dog experience, let alone ‘high drive’ dogs who went out and bought themselves a Dobe.

I try to help [avert any disasters] by giving advice on what to expect and how to handle but I doubt much of the advice is taken.

I wad disgusted when the pet shop at the local mall was selling Neapolitan Mastiff puppies. They are huge dogs that are strong and can be dominate. A lady that lives close to my father bought it because she liked how it looked. She was walking it in the cemetery across the street when it started dragging her toward me. She couldn't control the dog and it got away from her. Lucky for me the dog was still a puppy and friendly.
