Part of the "problem" is that only big dogs generally cause much damage that is *reported*.

I can't tell you how many times the Napolean complex has shown thru on little dogs. Not all - I've known of many nice 1s. Also known quite a few unstable 1s.

It's unworthy of the seriousness of the damage which these dogs cause to equate an aggressive cockapoo to a pit bull's aggressiveness.

The fact is that the pit bulls take lives, I have yet to hear of any cocka poo having any ability to cause anything near such a consequence, no matter the animals intent or owner's ability to control it.

I am NOT equating anything as far as damage. That's why generally larger dogs are the only 1s reported and on the lists - they cause more damage.

I don't care how small the dog is, I won't tolerate a vicious 1. I'll kick the hell out of a Chihuahua as much as I would a German Shepherd for turning on me. Vicious is vicious regardless of size, they are unreliable (understatement!) and can cause at least some kind of damage (who knows if they'll turn on you in your sleep? will you bleed to death if they hit the rite artery and have no1 to help you?), and they should not be bred, nor ignored and dismissed as "funny" and "cute".

The truth is the truth - some little dogs' CHARACTERS are just as bad as some big dogs'.

(And incidentally, I'd say the same about cats - I've had a naturally vicious cat - literally rescued and raised her, but she didn't last 2 years. Vicious unreliable possessed beast. Could she kill me? Doubt it, but I wasn't going to continue the pain & suffering any more. Dumped her at the pound cuz I could not w/clear conscience make some1 else her victim.)

Just wanted to thank you for pointing the way to the website from which those photos came. It's extremely informative. I would encourage people to go spend some time there.
