absolutely ridiculous what's going on now with the anti-"DANGEROUS" dog sentiments..there are NO bad dogs...only BAD owners.

all dogs ever want is a loving family ..they don't ask for anything, and they give you unconditional , undying devotion and love for you.

my friend's pitbull and my akita, two of the so called "dangerous dog" breeds both met each other at petco and when they first saw each other started playing and licking each other. NO growling, no biting, no aggresive behavior at all..the dogs loved each other, and played very friendly, people at store were shocked. my friend's pitbull was even rolling on his back and my dog was licking his face!!

and what kind of an owner leaves all those dogs unsupervised..as a responsible dog owner,you need to know if your breed can get along with other dogs..some breeds have to be the alpha , and will not tolerate any funny business, and may attack if another dog does not defer

and as far as guard dogs go...humans have trained dogs for thousands of years to help do their work...akitas have been trained as guard dogs, hunting dogs, and fighting dogs...well, when they guard/hunt/fight, now all of a sudden they're not supposed to do what humans have trained them to do?...some owners really are just terrible
