Hi everyone! I have been away for a couple of weeks so I missed alot of talk. I would have to put collies and Pekinese both in the biters category - mostly because I have been bitten by both. When I was four I was bitten by the Pekinese and required plastic surgery and when I was in my late twenties/early thirties I was bitten by a collie - both went for the face. You would think that I would be afraid of dogs but I'm not. I would say that most dogs are intelligent - some just don't like to boast about their intelligence and therefore seem less intelligent than their counterparts! I have a Wheaton terrier (Sadie) and she is sweet and gentle and I doubt if she would bite anyone; she also doesn't bark (only on rare occasions) and she is quite intelligent!!
