[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I completely admit to not having a source to my post, [i]but[/i] I remember hearing that pure bred dogs are more aggressive than mutts.  Examples  - [b]standard poodles,[/b] dalmations, scottish terriers, german shepherds, american pit bull, the list goes on and includes your precious little teacups.

I have neve met a mean standard poodle. However, I have seen mean pit bulls.  I don't understand why anyone would purchase a dog that has a reputation of being mean when there are so many other breeds to choose from EXCEPT if they want to appear tough or something.  For all those pit bull advocates, why did you choose pit over another breed if you are looking for a baby sitter?  Collies have a great reputation as baby sitters, so why a pit and not a collie or another shepherding type of dog which is bred to baby sit animals (translation, carry over to kids) - Oh, because you want to feel cool or something. that's why.[/quote]

Some may do it to appear "cool". Often they are the same ones who are the bad dog owners.

I don't want a pitbull to appear cool. I want one because there are a lot of pitbulls at shelters and they need a home. And I, unlike a lot of the other ignoramuses on this thread, see past the"evil" stereotype and know just like any dog as long as they are given the proper training they are incredibly sweet and loyal dogs.

I don't know about this babysitter thing that you're going on about. You never leave young kids alone with a dog unsupervised, regardless of the breed. Yes those breeds used to be referred to as "babysitters". That doesn't mean we want one to watch our kids for us. [/quote]
