There’s alot of variation in a breed from one individual to the next. For instance, I’ve seen a large standard poodle kill a boxer before.
I agree. It depends on the “attitude” of the dog. I don’t like pit bulls... I should rephrase that. I love all animals and dogs expecially. I don’t trust them - any father than I could throw them even if the owner says it is a big baby. I would pet them in the owners presence but NEVER let one near my grandchildren. I do disagree with those that say the breed should be outlawed. It’s just like the smoking thing and I don’t smoke, never have. If you let the government take one thing away they will start in on the next until it just might be something “you” do/have. We had an english mastiff, a bigger lovey baby you never met to EVERYONE and we got him for protection. LOLL No matter if he didn’t know you or what, he still welcomed you. Now we are down to five dogs. A heeler and a half heeler who is our daughters whom we have custody of as she is in an apartment now and they are very good at watching. Someone comes up and they bark. Their yard is not connected to the rest of the house so they would never be in danger of biting someone IF they wanted to. In the house we have the best defense - three yorkies. There aint no one gittin’ in without them knowing it. Our female has ears like a damn bat or something. She hears the cats outside come on the porch. Highest pitched squeal/yap I have ever heard. LOL and it will wake you up out of a sound sleep like a gunshot.
