DoberMom, at least in Columbus the only breed currently considered viscious is the Pit Bull. Don't know if that is true for the entire state or not.
I've not ever been in the presence of a Pit Bull. However, my experience is that dogs are dogs and it is how they are trained and treated that makes them the way they are. Is it unfair to say all Pit Bulls are viscious?
What I do think is intolerable is that some humans treat dogs in such a dastardly way. I've heard horror stories about Doberman "owners" doing things to their dogs to make them more viscious. It is very disturbing.
I have a fenced in backyard. It isn't there to keep my 2 Dobes in my yard. It is there to keep people out of my yard. I had a Columbus Policeman tell me that Dobermans are great dogs to steal by the people who have fighting dogs. They steal the dogs and let their Pit Bulls train on them. Can you imagine going up to a Doberman Pinscher and stealing it? That takes some real brains!
Labelling a particular breed as viscious is easy to do. Does that solve any problems? Probably not. Why is it that politicians just never seem to understand what the real problems are? Oh well, I guess that question belongs in a different forum.
