just been reading all your interesting comments regarding breeds of dogs you most dislike.
I dont own a dog , just the two cats, but have grown up on the farm with border cross collie dogs, they are gentle lovely dogs, all animals are special and beautiful, i could never hate any of them.
I used to dog sit for a cocker spaniel named ben, he was a real sweetie, but take him on his leash for a walk and if he saw another dog it was a different story, he went crazy, i got to the stage i was too scared to take him for a walk, his owners moved not long after and i no longer saw him.
Now of breeds the pit bull terrier has a bad reputation here in nz, they are often used in gangs ,and staged dog fights, its really disgusting, its often the owners who make these dogs vicious not the poor animal, do you have that problem in the states?
We had a recent case here where a little girl was badly savaged by a dog, her face was a mess and she faces years of surgery,the two owners received 3mths jail and had to pay each 2000 dollars to the parents, this will never cover her surgery costs, and her suffering.
The worst part of this all was in the end they think it was a different dog, and this poor dog was of course put down. to cut a long story short they are never allowed to own a dog again, but the good thing that came out of something so tragic, is they adopted two lovely cats.
Our dog laws need to be addressed here sharply to protect innocent people and the dogs too.
I personally love the siberian husky dog, they are magic, i love their amazing eyes. a little tropical here in nz for them i think but they seem to survive and thrive.
