growing up i was always scared of my friend staffy! - probably as my memory of her was trying to jump on my lap and all i could see was her big toothy smile!
When i moved to aus we got a boxer, DH family had always had them. Ours was a big softy, very long legs and a big clown. (he has passed now and missed every day)but i would find often people were scared of him, i respected their fear and always kept him either on a lead near them or put him outside when they visited!
BIL has a Australian bull dog, i prefer the American as they are slightly taller and less snouty
I wanted to get a french bulldog a few years later but found that they were rather $$$$. we opted to get a rescue dog instead and now have our pugX you may call him a rat dog but he thinks he is the size of a G dame! he loves other dogs the bigger the better and is great around children!
One day on the decking i caught my nephew pulling out my dogs stitches!!! while he lay back seeming to enjoy every min!
I do believe that any bread of dog can be 'dangerous' its just some have been given a bad rap over the years and possibly used as mascots for the wrong reasons? (again like BG says it can come down to the owner) It was only the other day i stopped as a dog was on the road and was hopping to find its owner, but was chased down the street by it yapping at my heels! (i don't do well with dogs that i don't know, but couldn't live with the thought it might be hurt).
