[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]ANY breed can be aggressive or can just be prone to playing a little too roughly.

Responsible owners will remove a dog who is playing too roughly, but you might need to separate [i]your[/i] dog from them if you're the only one who feels the other dog is playing too roughly.  For example, there is a lady who used to bring her dog to the same daycare as my dog used to attend, and she thought [i]any[/i] play [i]at all[/i] was a sign of aggression. She needed to get a grip.

I've been bitten by two dogs, and both were probably ones that others would say are "never" or "rarely" aggressive.  Neither dog was a pit mix, and both bites were completely unexpected.

The first time was by a Golden Doodle whose owner had it on a Flexi leash while walking on the sidewalk in front of my house. I was in my yard deadheading flowers, and as I threw some dead flower heads into my compost bin, the dog went nuts, ran into my yard, and bit my upper leg, breaking the skin. Thankfully, the dog was fully vaccinated and I was okay other than some nasty bruising, but it was still scary.

The second bite was by a Chihuahua owned by my friend. We were sitting on his couch, looking at photos from his childhood, and the dog began growling at both of us. Within seconds, it lunged forward and bit my ankle. No real damage was done due to dog mostly just getting my shoe in its mouth, but it was definitely an intentional bite.

In my neighborhood is an Australian Shepherd who must be muzzled anytime he's outside his own fenced yard because he's reactive towards other dogs, children on bikes and scooters, and adult men. He's not a pit mix.

If you had bden bitten by a pitbull instead of a doodle or chihuahua,  you wouldn't have your leg muscles anymore.[/quote]

It's not even worth responding to your hysteria at this point. You have a problem. We see you. Sorry about your loss of whatever emotional and psychological control you may have once had. That must be tough.[/quote]
