Thank you Kaimel, I agree 100% with the "punish the deed, not the breed" concept. What kills me is the whole reason people are starting crap is because they are BIG dogs. I have Willie who is a chocolate lab mix and weighs probably close to 120 lbs, the there is Duke who is a boxer mix and weighs probably 75 - 80 lbs and then there's Calleigh who is a german shepherd and when she is fat (she's been sick and is underweight right now) she weighs probably 80 - 90 lbs. Willie is not a social dog, he's extremely protective over me, but he isn't mean and he is more likely to run away from a stranger than he is to run toward one. Duke is extremely social and so friendly, he absolutely adores kids and he loves to play. Calleigh is not aggressive in the least bit, she is a bit of a spaz, but she is friendly to everyone and she absolutely loves her daddy.
Jazzy was a full pit bull and honestly the sweetest dog I have ever owned. She adored absolutely everyone and always had her tail wagging or her tongue going giving someone kisses. She did like to play and when she played she often got "vocal" barking to get her point acrossed because she was the smallest one.
I really do appreciate everyone's kind words. I can't wait for 2010 to begin because hopefully it will be a better year than 2009 has been.
