You are welcome to do whatever you like, Kanawa. You know that I have a great deal of Respect for you and for your dog Sam. You also know that I have no time for the mixed mungrel bag of breeding that often gets referred to as the “Pit Bull”, for excellent reasons. Far too many New Zealand kids have been mauled by them and there is little or nothing redeeming about them: they are dangerous for anybody to own.
It is unlikely that i will shift from that considered opinion anytime soon: as a responsible dog owner and experienced dog trainer I have earned the right to call it the way I see it. If that makes me a kook in your books, I’d be disappointed but life would go on.
Well as a "responsible dog owner and experienced dog trainer" (as I also claim to be) have these attacks in N.Z. always been by so-called "pitbulls"? Over here, just about every dog attack, is blamed on the so-called "pitbull" when there are 25 other dogs (Rotties, Tosas, Canes, Boxers, Bullmastiffs, Labs, and a variety of mixed breeds are often the real culprits) making the American Staffordshire Terrier, the Bull Terrier and the (English) Staffordshire Terrier targets for breed elimination.
I have respect for you as well, that is why I’m disappointed
to see you using lame cliches like “Dog of Peace”.
It’s plain out stupid, meaningless and silly.
