The ridgeback/lab I have is very territorial/protective and sneaky. He's had two free bites when he was younger. But a very lovable dog.

We have a ridgeback/whatever.  Hates cats (but as the years have gone by, now just ignores our cat), very protective.  Nice and loveable dog.

Our northern husky/whatever that we got in the Yukon is super friendly, but dumber than a sack of hammers.

I used to be in the "it's all how you raise them" camp but now I see very little redeeming value in pit bulls.  Haven't made my mind up on Rottweilers & all Dobermans I've been around have been good dogs. 

German Shepherds are my favorite, though.  My granddad had 3 of them & each was a great dog.  If I had a bigger house I'd get one.

What made you change your mind on the pit bulls?

Dogs started wearing lipstick.  Caused a great deal of confusion.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

We had a golden retriever growing up, she was a real sweetie.  My Dad loved her.

But the best dog we ever had was a cocker spaniel mutt, who's mother was AKC and his father was something that jumped the fence;  got that dog when I was around 2 or 3 years old,  lived long enough to see me go off to college.  He was a damned fine dog.  I miss you, Stanley.  :(

His brother from the same litter, Ollie, who my Dad gave to a friend of his, lived almost as long as he did, passed away 6 months before Stanley.   Whatever jumped that fence had some strong ass dog genes.

Are there breeds of human that are more violent and dangerous than others?

They're rather docile once castrated.

lol, looks like our rural white trash is not so different from Seedy's dazzling urbanites. Pitbulls and rotweilers are abundant with them, and they like to gang up and take one of their pitties for a walk. By the intelligence on the faces of the various species in that lot, you might think it is the dog taking out some humans for a walk.
But of course they mistreat their dogs and want them to be agressive, so I would rather not see pitbulls at all.

I got closest to being attacked by a dog via a rotweiler encounter, altough I don't blame it on the breed. I was walking home at night and public ligthing is spotty on the street at best. This huge-ass rotweiler was out on the street in front of his house but I could not spot him in time due to the dark and him bein behind some bushes. Quickly assessing the situation, I decided to walk on, through his turf, like I have no fear. He started growling agressively, I kept walking casually, not even turning my head. Then I heard him accelerating toward me. I still didn't run. Then he faked an attack behind my, well, behind, but I still kept my cool and a moment after that I must had walked out of the territory he considered his, as he did not follow me.
Needless to say I was scared shitless.

And to continue with the boring stories, an other rotweiler freaked me out as a child, when I was distributing leaflets in the village. This dog didn't bark at me. Oh no. He didn't. But the mailbox was just BEHIND the fence, well in his jumping range. So he just looked on, staring at me in perfect silence. As soon as my hand was over the fence, he jumped and tried to grab it. I had a few tries, but then just gave up.

I presume he means flyers (for supermarkets and such). Was a popular kids' job in Germany in the 80s.

Pitbulls were banned hear about 20 years ago (a textbook example incidentally of badly drafted legislation). The local dazzlers make do with staffies and the like.

lol, I went to my niece's lacrosse game last weekend, and one of the parents had their puppy mastiff with them;  this thing was only 6 months, and still needed a fucking saddle.  All head and paws.  :lol:

It's sad actually. Staffies are lovely, intelligent dogs really but they are now pereceived as yob dogs. They are also being dumped by their wanker owners in huge numbers. If you go to Battersea dogs home to pick p a stray, you can have any dog you like as long as its a staff.
