“””...how the dog is treated and what the dog is taught, determines how he acts or reacts.
It’s not the breed, it’s a individual animal....””
Do you say the same on all of those ‘child mauled by poodle’ threads?
Oh wait. There aren’t any. Wonder why that is?
Until you train a Yorkie to hunt pheasant, or Shi Tzu to tree a coon, your comments are meaningless.
Why do search and rescue teams use bloodhounds? Because they are bred for it.
Why do duck hunters use Labrador Retrievers? Because they are bred for it.
The AKC would sure be amazed at your contention that breeding means nothing.
“Not the breeds fault’ they keep saying, again, and again, and again...
Well actually there aren't, even though many other breeds are guilty of bites and maulings, because they are not sensational, they don't grab peoples attention! And buy the way Yorkies are quite capable of hunting small game like squirrels, being that they are of the terrier breed, you know like PitBulls?, Staffordshire Terriers? And by the way I never said breeding has nothing to do with it! If you had read any of my comments on PitBulls you would have known that I always blame people for intentionally breeding aggressive lines of PitBulls, so yeah it's not the BREED it' is what some people do to some of the breed. But hey what the hell why let reality get in the way of a good hateful rant! Why don't you go ahead and apply your logic to something else, like the problems with some of the yutes we are having and see how that works out, after all there are plenty on this site that consider them to be just animals.

Pit Bulls do not seem inherently more likely to spontaneously attack. The difference is that they are so much more effective when they do. As such, dilligence needs to be shown when they DO attack. Chihuahuas and toy poodles are amongst the most likely to inappropriately attack...but in the case of Chihuahuas...often no one really cares.
