dogs

[Jonesy83]

From my experience, little dogs can be far more vicious and do not give in when attacking. Larger dogs, may bite if they feel threatened but only bite once to protect themselves, and I have never heard of a dog ripping a head off.

not met my mother in law

Little dog, little man syndrome. Both the same. All mouth and no trousers. I would put both into orbit with a big kick!

its normally big dog liitle man round my way,used as a status symbol, staffie walking around with a brick or some massive stick in its mouth,dont blame the dog,blame the owner..

I think any dogs will bite if the circumstances are right. I like the idea of a rescue dog but in reality you never know it's history and if it's been badly brought up or abused it will never make a good family pet. I also suggest you avoid thoroughbreds, they tend to have physical problems because of the breeding and they're often mentally highly strung.

I like Staffies personally and they're great with kids if they grow up in a family environment.

Yeah i totally agree i have one by me and it scares the s.h.i.t. out of me.
Golden retrievers are the softest dogs i have ever met.

My two mutts, Rotty is a 2yr old male. Germy is a 4yr old bitch. She was a rescue too

Rottweilers scare me.

I was working on an empty pub that was being looked after by a man with a Rottweiler. I walked into the garden area wher he was chained to a lamp post, and I swear he nearly ripped the post out of the ground to try and get to me.

After speaking to the owner, I was advised that he was placid (whatever, lol) and I'm sure he said he weighed 15 stone.

i had 2 boxers when my kids were growing up cant fault them, soft, loving, fun and also nuts but brilliant all-round dog!

would love another but he wont let me!

My golden retriever has been attacked 3 times in 12 years. Every time it was a German Shepard! That reminds me i must get some rat poison!

putting dogs on a chain changes their personality , at a site where I worked once we had an Alsatian guard dog that stayed in the " bait room" with the lads through the day , come night time he was chained to the gate and only a certain few could go near him; he was "at work"

Let's cut most of the crap here. No matter what dog you get if you use positive reinforcement techniques and all family members in your training methods and everyone is making sure the dog knows exactly what is acceptable behaviour for it and where it's place is in the grand scheme of things you are not really likely to encounter too many problems.
There are a wealth of training manuals/TV programmes/Youtube vids out there from reputable trainers. There are also guys on here who can help, I know this because I needed their advice on one occassion.
My own personal preference would be a German Shepherd but that's just because I love the big soft daft bugger we've got. He's great with everyone.
As has been said earlier, you're going to have to walk the dog so you might as well have one that's not going to make you feel daft
