It's stupid to assume that a Rottweiler or a Pit Bull can't be a great dog with your kids. It's also stupid to compare these dogs to a lion or an alligator.

Want to visit mine the next time you're in northern Virginia? If you like dogs at all, you'll leave with a different mindset. I guarantee it.

yea i was exagerating a bit,but every time i hear of a bad dog attack,it usually involves a pitt or rott.

i wouldn't mind visiting but i'm not bringing my kids.

I'm a huge fan of both Pits and Rotts and hope to own one of the two soon.

The thing I feel though is you have to be VERY careful of those that you get from shelters, especially if they have had a background full of abuse.

And training is SO important with any dog. I work with dogs and nothing pisses me off more than a dog that walks you instead of you walking it. Just spend the $150 (at Petsmart. There are some places that offer training for free), take an 8 week course, keep up the training at home and it makes everyone so much happier and I'm sure the furniture and carpet will appreciate it too.

That being said, you have to be careful with kids around ANY sort of dog. Just because rotts and pitts are known to be aggressive (with bad training/owners) doesn't mean if you don't piss off the local golden retriever enough it won't snap at you.

Oh and if you wanna talk aggressive breeds... Look no further than a chihuahua. Those things are little rat bastards.

Besides teaching my dogs how to sit, come, walk on a leash, and a few other things I have never had to teach them how not to attack people. I guess that's what has to be done if you own a dangerous dog. I'm thinking if I have to teach a dog not to attack then its probably not a good idea for a family pet.

So dogs must be born naturally aggressive right? Just like humans are born inherently evil.
