If you don’t know the difference between an ankle biter you can stomp on and pit that wants to tear your throat out, your missing some serious thought process. Is there any significance in the fact that you love large potentially dangers dogs with balls. Some passive-agressive people I have know use their dogs to satisfy their own emotional make-up If I am wrong, I apologize.
"If I am wrong, I apologize." Apology accepted. All my dogs are neutered and spayed, and have been for 38 years, because I am not a breeder and don't want to be. My husband and I needed large yard dogs on the farm to protect the stock (checkens, turkeys, geese, goats, horses, etc) and the little guys just can't handle the kind of predators we have here in the Ozarks. I like small dogs, but am under no illusions about their temperaments, train them well, and keep an awareness that any one of them can rip a human face to shreds.
So again, apology accepted. Cocker spaniels tend to be irritable, and dachshunds bad-tempered. Both can inflict far more than a scratch, if not brought up properly.
