Hi Jaid
It is always nice to see the "good side" to a breed that most often is notoriously displayed. Most animal lovers understand that "bad" dogs aren't born but that they are a product of their environment. The sad fact remains that as long as there are idiots out there, animals and humans will continue to pay the price. On a brighter note, it sounds like you have the perfect family life and that I am very happy to hear!! May you have many more years of love and belly up days in the sun!
