My daughter can't get outside, thats a whole different problem. So many things could happen if your child got outside, hit by a car, kidnapped etc.

I have a dog that is on that list but my dog is not left out in my yard or garage. At night she sleeps in a crate locked in our laundry/storage room, along with my yorkies who sleep in a crate too.

Like with my dog, she may be on that list but shes further down past all the pits and similar breeds.

We don't rough house with her, we don't teach her to "attack". And we certainly do not allow any children to get in her face, pull at her or any sort of bad behaviour that may lead to a bite. We are constantly telling my daughter and reminding her NOT to bug ANY of the dogs. Not to get in their face and let them come to you if they would like some attention or be pet.

My bull terrier is a huge suck and if you were to come over the first thing she would do is "talk" to you, wiggle her butt like crazy, and lick your whole face and "bump" you with her nose. Next she would lay on her back and expect you to give her some loving. She's always wagging her tail and looking for loving attention.

The only time I've seen her "aggressive" Or anything is if she sees a small animal like squirrels, rabbits or birds. If you let her off her leash she would be gone chasing them.

We also have a parrot and when we first had her if she saw the parrot she would lick her lips and we could tell she wanted to get him, it was hard to control her. After lots of careful interaction and training her with a muzzle on, we can now have our parrot out and she will not even look at him that way any more. Of course this took ALOT of time and socialzing on our part. I still would never leat my parrot out alone with her but now I can feel comfortable having him on my shoulder without her looking at him like dinner.


I guess my point is, you can have a dog on that list and children. You need to be responsible and you sure has hell need to be careful. It's all on the owners. You can't have your kids wandering outside alone and you can't be leaving the opportunity for something like this to happen.

Again I'd never own a pit bull because of my past experiences but some of the other dogs on that list are a shock to me to be on there.

I didnt see a list
