    It’s Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, & Doberman Pinschers, plus wolf-hybrids…-some peeps think it’s cool to mate a wolf from the wild with (eg) a German Shepherd.
    Yes; a small dog CAN give you a nasty bite, but they let-go !
    The above breeds have a VERY acute chase & bite instinct and in the case of (at least) the Pit Bull, chase, bite, hold & maul !
    They even have a reputation of “going” for (attacking) their master !
    Like the Wooly Mammoth..I wish they were extinct.
    I don’t see the value of this breed at all

    DD72…..two comments for you.

    First, you’re an idiot.

    Second, people who think like you are why I have a carry permit.

    i didn’t call anyone names except for the people who don’t train and control their dogs or train them for the wrong things. Therefore, I’m glad I have a carry permit too.

    DD72, by your comments you have just exposed yourself as a liability risk. I hope you are carrying very high limits on your policy.

    I have high limits including a nice umbrella, my dogs are trained, they are also contained, I have many guns with licenses, I am a legal citizen, and I abide by the law. I see no liability risk here.

    It seems to me that most of you are living in a bubble. There are no bad dogs, just bad owners. I have owned Rots, but them darn taco bell dogs are wild compared to them. Their attitude is the worst of ANY breed… now get out from behind the desk and go sell something!

    I am not commenting on “bad” dogs, I am however, commenting on protecting your selfself with insurance coverage if you have an exposure. If you own a dog, especiallycertain breed, you have a greater exposure than someone who does not. In California we have paid out on lawsuits because the bad guy jumped a fence and was bitten. Wrong? Yes, but that is the reality here. Shoot at someone and miss, hit the house next door, kill your neighbor. Better have the coverage.
