Any dog is what its master makes it.Dog temperment is a combination of nature and nurture. Aggressiveness is a canine genetic trait, more prevalent in some breeds than others.
Im sick of these pu$$ies treating a dog differently because of looks. Sounds kinda like the argument about assault weapons doesnt it.
Are you more concerned about the penetrating power of a .50 BMG round over a BB gun, if so does that make you some kind of pu$$y?.
Differences in dog breeds are more than aesthetic, unless you for some reason think you'd rather be bit by a min pin than full size Doberman...

Seven, who prefers balls to other toys, deftly took this foot long KONG dumbell and 'balled it up' to better suit her nefarious purposes.
Which had something to do with Death Ray Eyes, apparently.

Well that explains the delicate little lick my Shasta used to give me in the morning. She wanted to see if I was seasoned properly before killing and eating me.
And here I thought she just wanted breakfast.

Dog temperment is a combination of nature and nurture. Aggressiveness is a canine genetic trait, more prevalent in some breeds than others.
Hence my statement. If you have one of those “more aggressive” breeds, it becomes more important that it’s master trains it correctly.
Are you more concerned about the penetrating power of a .50 BMG round over a BB gun, if so does that make you some kind of pu$$y?.
Come on at least bring a .22 to the argument. And the answer is either one will shoot you, and can kill you if used correctly.
Since very few dogs on earth could kill me (without being in a pack, or with rabies) truth is I don’t want to get bitten by any, but I would almost prefer it were a bigger dog as there are pressure point you can get to to force the dog into submission. To get a little dog off, you’re almost surely going to injure it in some way.

Many years ago I had a Doberman. He was a gift. I got him when he was a little puppy.
I must say this...
He was the most loyal dog I've ever seen. Also very, very affectionate.
Needless to say,...very protective too.
It was a joy to have him....may he rest in peace..
Dogs don't live long enough....

True, that.
I’ve had them for 40 years and my Wonder Dobe, Tito, died on my birthday in 1984.
There has never been a single day since, that I did not grieve for him.
I’ve had lots of different dogs and their passing always crushed me but when the Dobes go, they seem to take a chunk of my soul with them.
When tragic ‘Halla died two years ago, it hit me harder than any dog death I’d ever known.
Maybe because she was so young, maybe because I’m so much older now.
Maybe just because it was all so sudden, so devastating and we were powerless to help her.
I haven’t been ‘quite right’, since, even with getting Seven so soon after.
