I hope I didn't sound mean (I really don't think I did, nor was I trying to) when I posted about the pitty I live with & the so called family breeds. I wasn't able to keep updated with the thread as I only have the net at work.

my ex HATED pit bulls, just because of the rap they had. He went on & on on how they should all be killed as they are worse then a wild animal, blah blah blah! I always fought his argument with, well Max was part Pit bull & you seemed to REALLY like him, esp when he became ill (he layed on the floor with Max & gave him a kiss). He always argued well Max was part Lab thats why he was so nice (BS answer hehe)..

Now I live with a Pit Bull & I senced that Rob didn't like that idea at all. Well he got to see Cyrus & realized that he didn't charge the door, didn't snarl or snap. He barked a few times, I patted him through the door & he went upstairs & never heard another peep from him. Thats went Rob said, wow, he looks friendly! I said duh, pit bulls are nothing but love bugs

It just takes time for people to realize that the media blows things WAY out of porportion & the pit bulls that attack, had issues (not trained, or trained for fighting) & that ANY breed can attack & kill a human. a small dog could kill a baby as there isn't much blood in a babies body.

To make you feel a bit better, I personally do not like small breeds. I'll pet them or care for one, but I really don't like them. I like any dog over 50-60 pounds (80 prefered), as they are harder to break, easier to cuddle with, they can keep up with me & they don't yap, GAAAH I hate yappers.. But that my personal opinion on smaller breeds, even tho I think smaller breeds are cute too (like my grandma's Tea Cut Poodle, Buttons, hes a cute, sweet dog, but there is no way I could live with him or spend too much time with him)
