How can people dislike a dog, unless they have owned one?? I didn't say Hate, as that is such a harsh word. I have had the tall and short.........The doberman( which is ours ,hubby's to be exact), well if I had one from a babe who knows I would probably love it like I did my G.S.D's. Terriers, cross breds, mongrels, pound dogs pure breds,poodles, scruffy looking dogs, you name it........how can one say? I would never own a Rottie, ever !! Is that what I should have said? AS I won't....I am too old for their strength.
