Actually, if you look at dog bite statistics small dogs bite more often than big ones.
I work at a dog training school and I also volunteer at the pound, and everyone in both places knows that the problem is not a BREED of dog, its a BREED of owner thats the problem. Owners who neglect their pets, who encourage dominance issues, who make their pet fearful, who dont' give their pet the proper training and finally put their pet in situations where its likely to feel threatened. --Beth, Pseudo usenet cop Merlin MTB, BikeE AT, RANS gliss, Trek R200, Kickbike Owned by Kavik (Samoyed Boy) and Toklat (Keeshond Boy) Anchorage, Alaska ----- Original Message ----- From: "Howie Hamlin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, March 01, 2002 12:15 PM Subject: Re: Dog Mauling Trial > I didn't say an Akita - I meant more like a North American wolf. > > Basically, dogs like Rotweillers are scary and have a history of attacking people.
