We used to have a rottie (died last year) and they have the same stigma attached to them. We were actually denied homeowners insurance with many different companies because we owned a rottie. The funny thing is, he was the biggest sweet dog you ever met, a giant teddy bear. Our chocolate lab was 100 times more likely to be aggressive/hurt someone, but of course they don't care about chocolate labs.
That said, I've only known a few pits and they were pretty mean, but I blame that on the owners in those cases because they pretty much wanted a mean, protective dog. Because of my experiencw ith my rottie though, I don't agree with laws or rules against certain breeds of dogs because I think they are BS. Dogs should be judged on an individual basis ONLY. |
