One of the worst dog bites I ever experienced was from a Chihuahua. I did not shoot it 'cause I was 12 years old but I splattered his carcass flat with a Sunday edition of the Lubbock Avalance Journal.03Lightningrocks wrote:LOL.... no...you may have missed my point. I was making a point of the fact that when the offending dog is a rotty or pit bull looking dog, folks have a tendency to make an issue of the breed while if the offending dog is a chihuahua or some other lap dog breed, folks (and even the media) fail to mention the breed. That was why I mentioned dog discrimination. I see it the same way as if a person speaks of being threatened and says it was a "black dude" as if a "black dude" is more menacing than just saying "some dude".
There were a few others who mentioned the infamous Rotty and many other threads focus on Pits as well as Rotty's. Many times dogs are mis identified because they have a Rotty or Pit Bull "look". My own daughter has one like that. He is part Rotty and part lab. His body and snout look more lab but his markings and colors look Rotty. He is a big sissy dog but I have heard more than one person call him a Rotty as they express a fear of whether or not he would attack.
Like I said though. My questions and comments were meant in general. That is why I didn't quote your original post. You are fairly new hear so you may not know how often this topic and question have been brought up. I keep waiting for someone to ask if it would be OK to shoot an attacking chihuahua....
The absolute worst dog bite I ever had was from my own dog.
