Okay, so this is out of the blue I know. But it's a topic I like to bring up and hear other peoples opinions.
What is everyone thought on the title of "dangerous dog breeds" Examples such as the chow chow, pitbull, german shepherd, rottweiler, doberman, akita, dalmatian, boxer and so on and so forth (And yes, the german shepherd is titled as a 'dangerous dog').

I know not everyone see's them as dangerous. But people are mostly close minded mostly to the pitbull and rottweiler. My family has owned a rottweiler, and she's been the best dog. I even got a tattoo in memory of her. My parents use to tell me that when they went to look at her they took me with them, and I crawled up and ripped a bone out of the dogs mouth while she was chewing on it, and she did nothing. My parents knew right away that was going to be our dog. People find it amazing when I tell them this story. She also would protect my sister and I when we where younger. It didn't matter if she knew it was a family friend or not. She would place herself between my sister and I and stair them down until my parents would give her the okay, and she would let her guard down. Even when my dad and I would rough house, she'd go after him until my dad would pretend I was hurting him and he'd tell her to get me and she would turn around and just start barking at me like she would him. She did not like when him and I would rough house at all. Anyways enough rant on her. XD

I now own an akita and she's wonderful. So protective of the house, and the family even outside. One story about her (lol) my parents where outside and one of their friends dog (Phil) went out into the woods and must of got into something, and just for the record my dog get's along great with Phil. So Phil came back towards my parents after his adventure in the woods, for what ever reason, my dog did not recognize Phil's scent went right for him, and ended up puncturing him (but not badly. There was a little blood, but no stitches where needed or anything). She did it only to protect my parents, and my dad couldn't be mad at her for doing her job. But don't get me wrong, they felt bad for what happened, but why yell at a dog for doing it's job, and give it the wrong impression. I know it's not a hell of a happy story, but it's not a sad one. My dog still gets to play with Phil and the guys other dog (which happens to be a pitbull).

Anyways, sorry for the rants. I hate how those dogs have such horrible raps when they did nothing. It's all though media, and owners that give them a bad rap. Someone could own a cute little fluffy dog (like a pomeranian for example) and it could become a complete terror, attacking people (I've seen it happen).

I'd love to own a pitbull or another rottweiler. They are great dogs. The best phrase I could ever hear and remember is, "There is no bad dog. Only bad owners."

Anyways, what's your intake on the "dangerous dog breeds"?
