Hi geisthexe!

Thanks for your response. I really think it helps to be able to
talk openly about controversial subjects.

I think actually I'm in full agreement with you. I wasn't really
saying that there aren't other breeds that can be aggressive
and do damage. I was only trying to point out that there are
breeds, that while they may be totally out of control due to
being improperly trained, can't do the damage that a PitBull or
a GSD, etc. could do, even if they tried to. As owners we need
be aware and realistic about the breed we own. The man that
owned the PitBull that attacked my boss' Lab was totally in shock
that his dog would do such a thing. He was just clueless
about his dog. He wasn't a bad man and his dog wasn't bad
either.

As a terrier owner myself, albeit Cairns, I am always mindful
of their terrier instincts. I've socialized them and trained them
to be nothing but friendly, but there are situations that can
occur that will kick in those terrier instincts. If I'm unrealistic
about that, somebody elses small dog or cat or rabbit could
get hurt. That doesn't mean they're bad dogs. They're terriers
and they're scrappy. That's all I'm really trying to say about
Pitbulls too.

And let me iterate that I'm against banning of PitBulls.
