I have owned, trained and raised dogs before, but will not have another one....and i cannot stand them anymore, not because of the dogs themselves, but because of the irresponsibe stupidity of the vast mojority of dog owners..it truly is a shame, but most dog owners should not be allowed to keep a dog..

I agree, however, there are dog breeds that are just dangerous, if you don't believe that then you are totally irresponsible yourself, no matter how careful the owner, there are dog breeds that are dangerous to people, especially children. They are animals, never forget that. I believe if a dog hurts a human there should be stiff prison terms for thier owners. However, I couldn't agree more strongly, most dog owners are VERY irresponsible. Bite me flamers ....

I have no problems with dogs. I have four of my own, a Lab, a Chihuahua, a Lhasa Apso-Shitzu mix and a mongrel. The only dogs I have problems with are the Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, Presa Canarios and such as those. The dogs next door are purposefully trained to be vicious by their owner. While my fence is 5’, his fence across his yard from his house connecting to my fence is only 4’ tall. Those dogs can easily jump that fence. I fear that one day a kid from the neighbor hood will be running down the street and the dogs will jump that fence and attack. A couple of summers ago, about a half mile from here , a female jogger was attacked in just that fashion. She was jogging down the sidewalk and a Pit Bull inside a fenced yard jumped the fence and attacked her. The authorities destroyed the dog and the woman had to have surgery on her arm..............
