I absolutely love and agree with this article. It's all about training, training training. There are several dogs I wouldn't want now, simply as I am an older person and don't have the energy I used to have. Have always loved the larger dogs, but after my last old gal died, got a smaller dog and wouldn't you know, he's as much trouble as any of the larger dogs. You might say he's a work in progress. He was adopted from the SPCA and was so fearful of men. It took a full year of working with him to get over that fear. I'm not even going to try with children. Love him to pieces though. As for Chihuahua's--we have a couple in the neighborhood that occasionally get loose and attack my dog but my granddaughter had a Chi that was just as mellow as could be. If they're well behaved, I pretty much like any dog.
nope any dog that is untrained, treated bad, bred from aggressive parents, tied up all day and night and owned by ignorant people are not the breed. yes if the breed is a big dog treated the same as small it could do more damage at first but small ones can kill too.
oh that is a hard one. never thought i would own a small dog but parents got me a papillon. can't handle a big dog anymore. have seen some nice chis lately but not sure if i would own one as l like dogs with more hair.
Agreed. lol before even clicking on the link I was all "No such thing as a dangerous dog only dangerous owners" Anyways.. as to the breed I would never want to own that would be Chihuahua as well. I don't know why just never been connected to those dogs.
I would NEVER own a lab. They are a dime a dozen and bred and owned by any Joe Blow the town idiot who wants a dog. The most popular breed by far is also the breed that is going to have the most issues and problems.
