I personally do not think its fair to speak for a dog breed based solely on your experiences especailly if only with one dog. the lahsa my uncle had was just as friendly as could be and never once bit anyone and my uncle always paid me and my sister when we were little to give it and his yorkie a bath. we never had any problems.
All dogs can bite even the ones you would think wouldnt. i had a pekeigneese who would bite and she was so tiny. And my brother once got bit by a poodle, but does that mean i think all poodles or pekeigneeses are bad. nope i sure dont.
And as for the pit bulls and rotwillers and all those bigger dogs who get bad raps its not only how they are raised but i think that its cuz when they bite they often actually cause serious injuries which is something the poodle and the peekigneese didnt do, they never caused anything serious where we had to rush to the doctor or anything but had one of those dogs been a pit bull sure we would have had to go. So we hear on the news and everywhere about how a pit bull attacked someone etc its because they can cause harm. how many yorkies or other small dogs do you think bite people every day and no one says anything. |
