[QUOTE="flutterby, post: 498844, member: 7083"] The only breed I don't trust besides chihuahua's (and they really can't do much damage), are Chows. Maybe it was the area I lived in, but when I worked for a vet in high school, the only problem we had were with chows - and more than one. What bothered me the most, is that they are twitchy. They'd be fine with you one minute, then turn on you the next. If I know what to expect from a dog, I can deal with it, but when you don't know what it's going to do from one minute to the next.... In temperament testing, Pit Bulls score better than labs and cocker spaniels. Breed specific legislation needs to go. In the '70s it was the Dobermans, in the '80s it was the German Shepherds, in the '90s it was the Rotties, and now it's the Pit Bulls. It's not the dogs, it's the humans that are the problem. Oh - and in working at the vet and handling every kind of dog out there, I was only bitten once - by a Maltese. [/QUOTE]
