“I really see no need for this breed of dog. A small child was killed a week or so ago in Minneapolis by the “family pet”.”
I don’t either. Whats wrong with a lab? Barring a situation where you need real protection why in gods name would you want an animal that could do that much damage if it ever went after a person? A beagle can’t kill a healthy adult. A pit could rip the face off a healthy adult.
The last dog that “bit” me was a yellow lab. Hunting pheasants, she got a two inch thorn straight in between two toes.
Her owner held her still while I grabbed the thorn. She “held” my hand, just to let me know that I’d best be quick about it.......
We’re still best of friends.........
A gun is for real protection. All a dog has to do is make enough noise to waken the owner. You don't need a dog was a weapon, just an alarm.
Those little dogs that so many people criticize as having a worse personality than a pit can at least be drop kicked across the room before they do too much damage.
