‘So the vets and other professional people I know who work with dogs are not “respected in their field”?
I say anyone who said that there were no temperament differences between breed, including tendency to bite, would be an idiot laughed at by his peers in the field. ‘
You want to play semantics here, and I don’t have the patience for that nonsense, sorry.
I SAID ‘There is no such thing as a VICIOUS BREED, ASK YOUR VET.’
I then added ‘no vet that is respected among their profession would ever say otherwise’ or words to that effect.
Now, if you understood my EXACT words on this aspect, we can continue.
If not, move along, we’re done.
I, for one, am not into speculating on the MOTIVES for the dog biting (vicious, afraid, protective, dominating, etc); just the fact that they may bite.
That being said, the two breeds I hear are the worst to deal with are Chow and Akita.
Having herd numerous vets or vet techs expressing displeasure with the viciousness of some dog breeds, hearing you say what you did took me aback.
Any vet who doesn't recognize differences between breeds in the tendency to bite and ability to inflict serious injury when biting is an absolute idiot.
