but as you said on B2, any dog can be aggressive...pits just have traits for more danger (along with some other breeds) -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 20, 10:49 13
- True, but I'm not a person to take risks for no reason. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:54
- Dobermans always make me nervous. they look mean -- nm - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:51 11
  - if you see the ones where they don't crop the ears and the tails, they look way less scary in their natural state. -- nm - Andie Feb 20, 10:51 10
    - any pissed off dog charging at you can be scary. - groiny Feb 20, 10:53 9
      - say what you want but shih tzu are m-fin' funny dogs. - Mel Profit Feb 20, 11:07

        definitely a different look. I think we are going to get a weinerimer(sp?) one day. -- nm - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:56 2

        We had a mini-pinscher....that little thing could be *mean* - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:55
have you ever doggie-DNA'd him? -- nm - amanda Feb 20, 10:47 2
- Nope, just the look of one. - Will Hunting Feb 20, 10:52 1
  - I think we've figured out by now that there's not a reason to worry with him... -- nm - kelly Feb 20, 10:56
we go to animal welfare once a year or so, and last time it was like 80% pit bull mixes. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 20, 10:46 2
- my friend runs an animal shelter and they just can't take pits anymore. too many attacks on other animals at the shelter. - amanda Feb 20, 10:48 1
  - there are several shelters around here who say they don't take them but then just call them something else to skirt their own rule - Epiphany Feb 20, 10:52
