We went on vacation and out female sweetheart of a golden retriever dog was **** by some monster and them out came one coal black giant puppy some time later that the kids had to have.

sounds like it is more of a "you" problem than a breed problem

That GSD mentioned above that bit two friends' arms as they walked away... a pit would have ripped off their arms and beat them with it.
Captain Keith - Crooked Rod Charters
Never had an incident with one of those. They'd yap and yap and go run behind something. I was told several times "he won't bite" about mid sized mixed breed dogs as they were circling around trying to get behind me. One got me in the ankle, but I had boots on, he turned before i could get him with the mag light on the skull. Looked dead at the owner who had just said it wouldn't bite....We're done here.
The happy go lucky dogs don't care that you're even there. the ones you have to watch for keep barking and pacing, they never take their eyes off you. I had this one dog, i forget his name, but it was up in the villages, everyone who did service work on that house came to see that dog, pool guys, ac guys, lawn guys, that pooch was famous. He'd walk with me while I would do my inspections around the house, coolest dog I ever met. Just very chilled out.
But I have alienated a few family members because they have felt in the past that an invitation for them to come over and party is also an invitation for them to bring 2 pit bulls and a boxer with them.
When I say something about these beasts I got...."They have never bitten anyone"......as if that should somehow comfort my worry that they may drag off someone's 2 year old and feast on them.
And when I told them that the dogs had to go...they said that if they had to take the dogs away that they wouldn't be coming back......and with that I offered them something to take with them.....:)
Another idiot on the brides side comes equipped with his own high capacity smoke wagon which ...though concealed....sticks out like a sore thumb under his shirt...AND...he likes to drink like he is going to the gallows in an hour or so.......I just tell him that I will lock his weapon up until he's ready to go...which he wants to argue with me about.....hahahahaha...:)
...oh....he also has a pit bull, but leaves it at home as he says he doesn't trust it around people it doesn't know.....MY GOD.....
Aren't you the one who had someone drive down to spend a weekend fishing, but brought the whole Griswold Family Truckster down with them full of brats? You have some stories sir.
They say that if you live long enough you get to see it all....
I enjoy people and am pretty easy going which has sometimes been to my detriment .....but it all seems to work out in the end.
People confuse kindness with blindness. I've thrown family members out of the house on Christmas eve for acting a fool. And in the same breath literally welcomed good friends into my home with a "Hey Johnny, come on in man, great to see you!!!!" then proceeded to do shots of Ballentine's scotch until he puked.
He still tells that story to people to this day.
I'm trying to get a hold of the pit, but he just about has Cody by his throat-- fortunately Cody's thick leather collar is helping slightly. As the pit tried another bite, I was able to pull him off Cody. I tried to give him over to his owner, who lost his grip and he's back on Cody again. I yelled something like, " get your dog or I'm going to kill him." Not my proudest moment for sure. But it looked bleak. Out of frustration, I hit the dog as hard as I could on his nose, he let go, and I pulled him off, and finally the owner got control of him. We left and went home. Cody had a bloody back ( one bite) which I cleaned off with Vetrycin.
Saw the owner the next day (w/o Cody). He apologized said he had gotten a new collar/harness and leash. Said his dog had all his shots, blah blah. He said the collar had just came off just as we arrived.
Found out they lived 100 yards from me ( in another neighborhood) separated by a greenbelt. Crap. Also found out later that a week earlier the pit bull that went after us actually went under and thru a fence to go after a neighbor's dog. If I had known that, I might have called animal control, but after I met the guy, I didn't tell him I was going to call animal control. But I told him I expected him to control his dogs and if he sees us coming, to go elsewhere( or we will.) I told him I was concerned about the consequences if my 3 and 5 year old grandkids had been with me.
I will say that the pit had plenty of chances to bite me and he didn't, so there's that. But this happened in literally 20 seconds, and I will never allow myself to turn my back with another alpha dog in our vicinity. Looking back, during that moment of frustration, I had reached for my kershaw pocket knife that is ALWAYS in my right pocket, but fortunately in this case and my state of mind( fear for Cody's life), it wasn't there. Because I didn't want to hurt the dog. Thank God the punch worked.
All I know was that 20 seconds was a blur.
I didn't say other breeds don't attack children. I said I've never read of any others. There are always exceptions to everything.
Do yourself and get a "good" one. I'm talking reputable breeder. I would advise against an 'Americanized' line. Something more European. It will be a far healthier and more correct dog bred to the original concept. Not one of those that can barely walk.

My current dog was mauled by a PB when he was six months old. I don't blame the dog as much as the 'handler'. Many people who buy these type of dogs are insecure and that rubs off on the dog regardless of breed.

Last customer raised attack guard dogs. They were in pens all around me going ape chit. Then she took me in the house where three or four more were. She said do you mind the dogs, I said yes I hate them. No I didn't get the job.
Or....maybe it's just an effed up breed that can't be trusted.

AN ARTICLE IN JADA (JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION) IN 2001 HAS THE ADMISSION THAT FLUORIDE SWALLOWED AND INCORPORATED INTO THE TEETH IS "INSUFFICIENT TO HAVE A MEASURABLE EFFECT" ON REDUCING CAVITIES."
THE NOW CORRUPTED MEDIA MANIPULATES BY USING ORWELLIAN NEWSPEAK. In Orwell's words, Newspeak was "designed to diminish the range of thought." Newspeak seeks to eliminate or alter certain words that do not fit the media's ideological agenda. In Orwell's novel 1984 Newspeak is a way of controlling the people's language in order to keep the peons under ideological control.Newspeak is deceptive and deceitful as it stifles free speech and only allows only certain approved words, phrases and ideas to be used while other words are forbidden.
Fauci's "Gain of Function" is newspeak for enhancing the contagiousness of a virus for use as a biological weapon in war. It was dumb, stupid and a threat to national security for the US government with Fauci's blessing to help fund biological weapons enhancement in an arch enemy's country. When Fauci used and pushed the euphemistic misnomer deceptive term "gain of function" the con was on.
"Gain of Function" newspeak for "Viral Biological Warfare Weapons Enhancement".
"Undocumented Immigrant" newspeak for "illegal alien".
"Progressive" newspeak for "Marxist".
"Dreamers" newspeak for "illegal aliens".
"Immigration Reform" newspeak for "illegal alien amnesty".
"Xenophobia" newspeak for those that want border security.
"Gun control" newspeak for "confiscate your guns".
"Pro-choice" newspeak for "pro-abortion".
"Math is racist" newspeak for "we are too lazy to learn math".
"Critical Race Theory" newspeak for "Reverse Discrimination Marxism".
When a snake oil salesman knows that the snake oil does not sell with the accurate name he simply changes the name to the NEWSPEAK euphemistic misnomer "Magic Medicinal Elixir" to sell his misrepresented product otherwise not sellable.
I AM NOT A RACIST
I am not a "dog whisperer" and have had to shoot a few dogs in my day as they were torqueing up for a kill.
Now there may be some who might say that I shouldn't have given them a case of "lead poisoning" until the actually did damage a human.....and with that I most whole heartedly disagree.
Should some "AH" pull out a knife or a gun and start screaming at the top of his lungs and running at me I would dump that human as fast as I would dump the dog.
I believe that it all has to do with the perceived threat level that makes us do what we have to do.

Never had to put a dog down for being aggressive. When I was about 12 or so, we did have a chow mix that my dad gave to a farmer due to his aggressive nature and the farmer wanted a dog to keep people and animals away from his crops. My dad was concerned about him biting us kids or a neighbors due to his attitude.
