The boxer and the Pit are 2 of the many dogs with mutated jean pools.

I remember seeing a post someone posted on here about a toddler getting ripped to shreds but some sort of sheep dog. The cops were trying to catch the dog which had blood all over it. This dog was the family dog for many years and just turned unexpectidly on a baby!!!!

Dogs no matter what breed " are animals", i dont care what kinda dog you have id watch any dog around a child

I had a boxer chase me one time for a couple blocks, man was i ever scared, yikes!!

I have a phobia of dogs. I don't hate them. I don't wish any harm on them. It's like any other phobia, like hights or the dark. Yes even little dogs, lol, i know i am a dork.

Actually, objective research has shown that the Daschund is the most aggressive breed of dog.

This list appears to be a rundown of the most feared dogs, not he most aggressive. 

Also, it's a total fallacy that a pitbull (or any other dog) can "lock" its jaws. There is no 'locking mechanism' in the jaw of any dog. They just have very strong jaw muscles.

that is why I dont think I want to get a dog until my son is 6 or older...when they know that dogs arent toys. I want a miniature schnauzer. Those are some sweet doggies when raised in a loving home

[moretolovemamma]

exactly. I have a tough time taking ANY post about dog's aggression seriously when they buy into media hype. The jaws do NOT lock, at all. They have strong jaws, like many big dogs, but they do not lock.

Dalmations can become aggressive when not given proper excercise and kept active.

People just need to know the breed before they get a dog and know what that dog needs.
