I was surprised to find here some posters who started to ridicule those who spoke out against dog fighting. When Senator Byrd echoed my sentiments and called it barbaric, several called him a hypocrite, apparently alluding that he supports dog fighting.
Anyone who supports dog fighting has to be a sadist and those who take their children to watch should be charged with child abuse.
Anyway, to current times, my brother owns a lhasa-apso which is about the size of my foot. The dog is borderline psychotic, my opinion, for any visitor to the house. He barks constantly and will even growl at your every move. The breed is very territorial and tempermental by nature from what I have read. I'll take my Shepherd anyday :-)
