It’s so true, growing up in the 80s I don’t remember anyone talking about pitbulls. It was all Dobermans and Rottweilers!

I grew up in the 70s and was badly bitten by a neighbor’s German shepherd. Other neighbors had a Gordon setter that bit their daughter’s best friend in the face. Neither dog was put down and it caused a lot of bad feelings in the neighborhood. In the 80s everyone was afraid of Dobermans and Rottweilers. Let’s not pretend that bad owners and dangerous dogs are something new.
