WI GSD Ban?!

[Rott-n-GSDs]

My apologies, Chelle. I did not quote your entire post, just the part I was commenting on. Honestly, I'm not a fan of quoting the whole post because it just clutters up the board. That was my only motive. But if I highlighted the negative on your posts, your response to me only highlighted the positive, again changing the meaning of the post as a whole. Perhaps both of us were in the wrong.

OR - is it just part of the sales pitch that people have developed to scare other pet owners into supporting their breed of choice?

You would think that if you banned pitbulls, the next breeds you would ban would be Mastiffs and Cane Corso type dogs...that would be the new pitbulls.

Actually, they have. I think it's Germany.. not positive, though. A friend of mine has a Mastiff service dog and cannot go to Germany. I believe they started with pits and went from there.

In Spain, there is a list of dogs that cannot appear in public without muzzle. I know Rotties are on that list.

Apology certainly accepted and returned for any miscommunication issues. We all sure have our opinions, but at the end of the day, we all just simply love dogs. That's why we're here, right? So let's go beat up someone who doesn't take care of their dog. Just kidding!!!

And Jessica, thanks for your PM.

How about a ban on the toy breeds most actual experts agree have the highest bite rate, they just go unreported? Makes about as much sense as this... how ridiculous. Does that mean banning police and working dogs then? Because, obviously if they're a GSD they're vicious and it's only a matter of time...

This is a surprising list... Some I understand, others astound me that they could be on a ban list. (I own one on this list.) Interesting.

Good point; some of those ankle biters are relentless little bugers. Maybe it's because their bites don't tend to inflict as much damage, therefore often go unreported? They drive me nuts and their owners often drive me even crazier. ... "Ah!! Look! Your big dog is afraid of my precious sweet baby! That's funny!" Puke.

[gsdheeler]

Small dogs do most of the biting but do the least damage, that means the least reported bites.
I've been a groomer for 16 years and I have the most problems with the little ones, of course they get very little training if any at home so you can't put all the blame on the dogs.
