I agree that dogs of the Molosser ancestry have special requirements and are not for the dog owner that doesn't want to invest the time and effort.

Mainly I just wanted to have a long debate with Tigger to see if he would "get his panties in a wad" as he is so often accused of and he did not. In fact, I thought he held his end of the debate very well.

Sucks being responsible.
Damn - I was hoping someone would bite harder than that!


Kaneman - guilty as charged. I see what you're saying re: many pits/rotts 'trained to hate humans', and while I agree that it's part of the issue, my feeling is that it doesn't explain away the numbers being skewed so highly towards those two types in particular. Just an opinion that can't be proven/disproven by lies, statistics and more lies though. And I'd still be far more worried about dangers presented the 'scumbag'-owner element than any of their 'viscious' dogs.


One thing that jumped out at me doing a little reading though - supposedly 1/3 of homeowners' insurance claims result from dog-related claims? Wow - seems hard to believe it could be that high. Does your ins. company ask if you own dogs (or specific breeds) & jack your rates?

Kerry my insurance company did a 'drive by' and asked that we sign a waiver on our Rotteweiler so we can't make claims on him. They didn't ask for a waiver on my two parrots though and they've bitten plenty of people!

*gasp* You guys are too funny! Tiggasponses and Tiggoints, those are worth remembering...

Kerry, in response to your question, every time I have gotten home insurance or renewed my policy they have gone through a list of dogs (pits, rotts, shepards, etc) and let me know that if I owned any of the above it would affect my insurance.

Milk, I cant remember where I read it, but I know I read somewhere that Poodles tend to be a VERY nippy and agreesive biting breed, especially the large ones, tho when properly trained make excellent pets. However, I am sure they dont even get an honorable mention since whos afraid of a Poodle?! Not a breed that typically inspires fear...

Our homeowners insurance here in Florida is well aware that we have an APBT and a Boxer. No special rider or upping the policy.

It was eaten by a Pit Bull, and he hasn't been the same since.
