Mine don't even follow you from room to room...they take retirement very seriously.....

I have two Greyhounds. They never show any aggressive tendencies....but, I never allow children to get in their face. They are very large dogs and if they were to bite, they could take a childs face off.

Boxers?

Shepherds & Dobes? Great dogs.

I'm of the belief that all of the big dogs have the ability to do damage if they bite...I just don't think they're the main offenders. Pet owners need to be responsible and use a little intelligence.

Surely you jest Catt. It's not the owners fault; some breeds are just evil and blood thirsty.

The only thing that does change their lazy ways are cats and rabbits. They become different dogs!!!!!

One on the radio yesterday.. Fat woman took a nap, when she woke up her dog was in the corner licking his lips chewing on a bone.. She looks down and her foot (feet) are totally gone to the ankle.

I have seen some real nasty Labs... dog aggressive and people aggressive.
I would also like to be known that the Pits are not the "only" dog that will "lock" their jaw while "in the fight". I'm sure most people have never seen police dogs work or be trained.... but that is what each Shepherd, and Malinois are trained to do. They will not let go and most GSD's will bit over and over doing the most damage.

I own GSD's and have for many years. My GSD right now had the opportunity and reason to tear the living SH*T out of a Lab. This Lab out of no where bit him right in the face... and was not letting go. What did my GSD do? He grumbled but never retaliated...... to my surprise! He walked away while the Lab was wanting more.

So CATT is right.... each breed of dog has the ability to bite and inflict damage..... its up to the owner to be responsible.
