*SIGH*

This list goes on and on, why not just say that every breed of dog is dangerous? Because in reality, they are if not properly socialized and trained. A nipping, biting puppy at 8 weeks that isn't corrected can be dangerous as an adult. Socialization and obedience training are very important with breeds that tend to be overly dominant. All breeds should be trained and socialized, even small breeds.

We're doing the main ones such as pits, rots, dobes, etc...but I will make a note saying that any dog can become dangerous if not properly trained.

Thanks, I just don't want people to think that their untrained, unsocialized "gentle" breed is less dangerous than a dog that is considered "aggressive".

Yeah, I agree. I can't believe they consider Danes agressive! All of them I've met have been major sweeties.

They consider them dangerous because of their size and damage they could do if they were to bite someone. Danes were not bred to be aggressive, so buying one from a reputable breeder is the only way to go.

Good Luck on that! Very good idea. Maybe people can become more educated and know it's not the dog breed or the dog... but the OWNER. Like I LOVE Pitties and Akitas especially.

Just wondering... do Cockers count? I've had people tell me they are one of the most known breeds to bite. I think they're the best breed ever, though.
