I think toy breeds can also get away with alot of bad behaviour. "oh, isnt he cute?!" or "he is so little, what harm can he do?" I have seen lazy laid back shepards, and I have seen spastic shepards.

I will admit that even my friends that have "tame" PBs making all the claims of how sweet their dog is, scare me! I have seen their doggie drag them down the street, or have them say "dont get near him when he has a treat." Really?! And then they let the 4 year old give the doggie a treat!

My DIL2b has a bull dog. Im sorry but he scares me! He snaps, and is mean! I know several owners of PB and Rotties, and im sorry...the breed scares me! well, maybe its the way the owners treat the breed. They seem to just dimiss the fact that this dog was bred to be a fighter. its in his nature. Like eating chocolate is in mine. I refuse to let DIL2B bring her "baby girl" to my home. It upsets my DS, but too bad! Till she gets a grip on that dog, it aint coming in.
