    I noticed this too back when we had my RB Pepper (Dal). Lots of people would ask, Will she bite? How can you leave her with your children? (I picked her out... so that was kind of a moot question!) Isn't she really high strung? We got all kinds of questions.. and we thought they were so far fetched because Pepper was the ultimate people dog.. except for when it came to my dad. But thats probably because she could sense he was going to divorce my mom! lol...

    If I were to rent a place... I would never live somewhere that had restrictions like that. Luckily we own our townhouse, and their rule is 2 dogs, any kind. Well we have 3 and have for almost 3 years.. so you can see how strict they are! =)

    Lol!

    I know, people always think Honda and Delta are going to be mean. They are such sweethearts. I did realize at the dog park yesterday that Delta does look kind of mean when she plays. LOL!

    Its sucks doesn't it? Try walking a cocker spaniel out in public. People just have to start to realize that temperment is individual. Maybe we need a Martin Luther King Jr. for dogs. A march on Washington. No more "racism" in the world of dog breeds.

    Oh, I know about cockers. Which is so sad because they are just precious. My friend's grammy had one who was almost deaf and mostly blind. He was such a sweetheart though.

    Really?!?!....I have never heard anything bad about Cocker Spaniels.As a home owner i do not have to worry about any of the above.My sister has had numerous problems with her "German Shorthair Pointer"Reese..He is a big baby..But for whatever reason,Any appartment they live in they have had the problem of the landlord giving them grief over Pointers eating walls...?!?Maybe he had a dog that did that prior to one of there units,Or is it common for German Pointers to be destructive?Either way im unsure..But Reese is a lovely boy!

    I think all these regulations have come out over the years is moreless to save the landlords behinds.Who knows what has happend at there properties previously.Im sure in Appartment complexs there has been some kind of situations,I know first hand where my Grandmother resides there is alot of careless pet owners.So basically these breeds there crossing out,If they have had problems in the past i can see why there jotting that down in leases.It does not mean your dog is aggressive,or a bad dog because its a Dalmation,German Shepherd,or a Rotti.I think they moreless do it to save there tail in the end.
