I don't hate any dog or any animal for that matter but, I'm SCARED by Saint Bernards and Pit Bulls. In our area a lot of people have bred these to terrific meaness with bad health problems. You really have to be choosy about G.S.D. and Labradors also. The dog that has bitten me the worst was a YORKIE! but I like them (for someone else-toy dogs and livestock are a bad combination).
