He’s saying when GS were called vicious dogs and everyone was scared of them (movies, etc). But that was brief. Chows still hardly anyone heard of. But the truth is we’ve been tailing PBTs for 30 years; it’s not a fad. The fad is considering them to be victims of prejudice. The type is more popular than in the ‘80s as their martyrdom increased, but still not nearly as popular as Rotties (#2 on the attack list) or German Shepherds (down lower, and extremely popular for the last century, possibly the all-time popular dog). Yet, the type (not just one breed) is by far the biggest attacker and killer amongst all dogs.
Movies? I must have missed all that.☺
