Soft as Anything.
I know exactly what you mean Mixster. Mrs Radish and I own a Japanese Akita and he is the most placid, lovely dog you could wish to own. Mind You, he has been brought up that way. At 8 stone, the last thing you need is a wild animal on the end of a lead. I would hate to have a dog or image where the aim was to make people cross the street than walk past you, but that's what they get off on as they have feck all else in life.
Teco despite his breed is almost a local celebrity where we live. All the children and parents love him, he has his own bowl in the pub and nearly everyone knows his name, but not ours!!!
Without a doubt, some individual dogs are just bad'uns and some breeds are more powerful; however, most dogs are turned bad by brutality or lack of care. . . . just like Children!
Check out Teco on the photo below or my user profile picture! Japanese Fighting Dog. . . . Very Dangerous?????

Don't worry TC, your Rotties aren't included! Dangerous dogs are:
Pit Bull Terrier
Japanese Toza
Dogo Argentino
Fila Brasileiro.
The dogs aren't banned as such, it's breeding them that isn't allowed. You can have one so long as it's neutered and muzzled in public, I think.
I agree with what was said earlier about it's not the dog's fault but the owner. There's a guy near where I work that seems to have an endless stream of Staffordshire Bull terrier pups. I love dogs, and can't bear to see the way he treats them. He deliberately tries to make them aggressive, and won't let them have human contact. the one pup was so friendly and tried to come to you as it walked past - he would drag it away and hit it. Made me want to hit him! He's a massive f*cker though. People like that shouldn't be allowed to have a dog at all, but they're the ones that always want/seem to have a Japanese Akita/Pit Bull/Rottweiler etc.
