Exactly the point I was making. All those docile old mutts that have finally had enough of the kids swinging from their ears finally take a bite. IIRC, the rest of the top ten was made up of lap dogs and other assorted pets. No guard or attack types there because people tend to keep out of their way. Pit bulls were bred from bull terriers as fighting dogs (hence "pit") and are, as a breed, not one I would contemplate as a pet. mike ----------------------------------------- Email provided by http://www.ntlhome.com/
