[QUOTE="CR Swade, post: 749140, member: 21423"] The top six attackers, of which the most difficult to trust being the chow & german shepard in my experiences in peoples back yards [I]with them present[/I] as well as the shar pei's, al are classified as work breeds with very strong alpha tendancies. It is no coincidence that the alpha trait combined w/ powerful body mass makes for a great fighter, protector. Many breeds have a much weaker alpha tendancy, although all dogs carry the trait. Goldens are a perfect example of a dog that is a complete wuss when it comes to alpha traits. My beagle ran roughshod over the golden b/c he wouldn't assert himself in a aplha fashion-the breed has been engineered to do that through selective process. All of my goldens have been this way and there are many more breeds better suited to human interaction than the top six, [I]not that the top six all don't have shining examples of well-socialized behavior[/I] Conversely, the protectors have been bred to carry a stronger alpha tendancy by many breeders, and the numbers are clear that their population (top six) is roughly 11% of all registerd breeds, which is very disproportionate for the number of attacks they represent. All that adds up to is a breed that can be deadly no matter how many precautions are taken in the raising of the pup. On a side note, a rot is one of the more docile top six...very trustable for me while I am working in the yard, they are just a hugely powerful dog and I think the selection process of picking a breeeder is paramount. This relatively new breed to the US, presa canario, is a perfect example of a monster breed that deserves serious consideration for legislation. Most municipalities don't allow dangerous wild animals and it could be argued now that maybe we need to look at the same for certain breeds. Tough line to cross though, what breeds are good, what are bad? More responsiblity at the [I]breeder[/I] level along w/ owner? I don't know, but the number of people ripped apart can't speak their feelings anymore (a pair of the presas mentioned above literally did that to a 33 year old woman [I]in her apartment building[/I] ) and maybe it is time we spoke up. I am totally against any more laws, I hate big gov't, but something has to be done. [/QUOTE]
