Grrrr! I have encountered the same "breed prejudice" when looking for a place to live. If you are lucky enough to find and apartment that allows pets over 15 lbs, you'd better not have a doberman, akita, rottweiler, pit bull, chow, german shepard, husky or a dalmation! You'll be out of luck. I'm not sure if this applies to mixes or not. My Addie is a lab-pit mix. If I say she has pit in her, people are petrified. When I call her a lab-mix, they all want to pet her. She's the same sweet dog no matter what. Not every dog in the "vicious" breeds are any more dangerous than any other dog. Far from it. Breed rules are ignorant. This country allows people that have commited no crimes to live free lives, no matter what their heritage or bloodline. Why are dogs judged only by their breed, not by their character? I realize that some bloodlines are bred to be more vicious than others, but this does not apply to an entire breed. In most cases, it is a bad owner that causes a dog to be bad.
