I thought you said there were no vicious breeds.
We've had this conversation before. I took up your challenge then and I asked my vet. He said that there are definitely breeds which are much more likely to attack with little or no provocation and less likely to break off the attack once it starts. Although he was generally opposed to a breed ban, he said that there are some breeds of dogs that he would hope his neighbors don't get and he wouldn't be that upset if his homeowner's association banned those breeds.
‘Meanest dog breed I’ve every come across are poodles.’
‘I thought you said there were no vicious breeds.’
I keep looking at my post for the term ‘vicious’...maybe I’m just getting old, but I still don’t see it....
And your vet agreed with me, there is no such thing as a ‘vicious breed’. He didn’t say that, as you recount here.
I do appreciate you noting we had that conversation, you did ask your vet, and he agreed with that fact.
Yep, there are some breeds you might not want around you, but I’ll say thats more an indirect comment about the dog owner, and his/her ability with the larger more powerful breeds.
There is a dog for every kind of lifestyle, and when selected with care and some knowledge, they are in fact a ‘perfect fit’ for anyone.
My dogs usually run from 70 - 90 pounds, which tells anyone with knowledge on this topic I don’t own a ‘pure breed’ Rott for example. I like em a bit bigger because while they are family members and treated as such, they also perform a serious function for my family, that of a living ‘trip wire’ in case of a home invasion/burglary/whatever criminal act at our home.
You would be very comfortable coming to our home, with our dogs...unless you have a phobia about large dogs. I can’t help with that aspect.
