DOGS make mistakes...as in ALL dogs. not just pits. not just rots. even with proper training...accidents happen. how many times do you not hear the part of the story where the kids were throwing sticks or rocks at the dog and taunting it from the other side of the fence. then when the dog lunges over the fence and mauls the kid, everybody's like "KILL THE DOG!!! ITS OUT OF CONTROL AND UNPREDICTABLE!!!" well, i'll tell you what...i wasnt the brightest kid, but i knew enough to know that if i threw a rock at a dog and it bit me as a result...it was my fault.
Nikki...you're a mod and so i am not going to go out of my way to piss you off. i will let people on this forum weigh your experiences (the experience of a single vet tech) against those of multiple studies done by the AKC and AKKC, which are THE authorities on dogs in this country. additionally, people should also weigh the atmoshpere of a vet clinic...it is not any dog's favorite place and i would wager, the most likely place for a dog to act out of its normal tract of behavior. experiences at the vet with dogs should not be judged as the standard of normative breed behavior. this isnt that hard to figure out.
