Well argued; I'm with you! With responsible owners, even dogs that are bred to be aggressive can be friendly, and with irresponsible owners, even breeds that are supposed to be mild tempered can end up in bad shape.

My sister-in-law owned a german shepherd-rottweiler (sp?) cross. Sounded like a super-scary dog, but this dog was the friendliest, dopiest, sweetest dog. Whenever I was feeling down, it would come put its head in my lap.

Oh, I came over here because of cottonmanifesto's cross link, but I do like visiting from time to time, anyway. You guys are a great couple.
