I remember when the dobermans and shepards were labled as dangerous dogs.Now it's the pits and the rottys.I have a "taco" dog that is meaner than my pit or rotty are,and hes only 4 inchs high and weighs less than 4 lbs.The OWNERS of these dogs that attack are the ones who should be exterminated ,not the dog. Some home owners insurance companies will drop your insurance if you own a pit ,rotty or any other breed that they believe is dangerous.

No such thing as bad dogs, only bad owners.

My neighbors have 2 pit bulls. The female breaks the pickets and gets in my yard. While trying to mend the fence the dog charged me. Yesterday it got through and attach my german shephard. She had to have stitches in both ears. It broke a picket on my back fence trying to get to the little dogs behind me. Animal control couldn't do anything since by the time they arrived the pit bull was tied up. I don't go in my back yard because of them. What am I suppose to do?
