   My sister's Lab tried to kill me twice going straight for the throat.   
   My Pit Bull has never bitten.   
      
   >>You've never seen a lab attack someone have you?

   A Cocker Spanial is FAR more dangerous than my Pit, so isn't a Dacshund.   
   My Pit has been attacked by 14 dogs and one cat repeatedly.   
   Dachshunds, Collies, you name it.   
   Spanky does not bite period.

   >>>>cocker   
      
   Leading killer dog among infants are Cocker Spanials.   
   Staffordshire Bull Terriers properly raised are   
   EXTREMELY PROTECTIVE of children.   
      
   >>>A cocker spanial is a very small dog and is not likely able to kill a

   Throwing my sister's Labrador into the pool was no easy task   
   and a second trip was required before he stopped going for my throat.   
   I've never had to discipline my Pit Bull at all and he's 15 years old.   
   not neutered and on steroids for arthritis.   
   Walked off lead too but I do carry a cat lead bedcause it fits in a   
   shirt pocket in case I have to steer my dog clear of aggressive dogs.   
      
   Pit Bulls owned by irresponsible owners are another matter.
