""On the one hand - "There are no breeds which are less dangerous. Every dog is a wolf with a veneer of domestication."

On the other hand "All blonde great danes have the temperaments of angels" (not an exact quote).

You cannot see that these are inconsistent?

Poor you.

""Every dog is a wolf with a veneer of domestication.""

This is entirely true, and if you understand what it means, which you patently do not, you can use the dog's own nature to reduce the chances of attack to a very low level. This can be done with dogs of any breed.

Big dogs with owners who either are not strong enough, or can't be bothered, to control them, along with dogs deliberately trained to attack, are a problem, but that is entirely due to ineffective or inappropriate training, which is the reason for the disproportionate level of attacks by Pits and Rotties, and their strength is the cause of the exceptional severity of injury.

But it is not an intrinsic characteristic of any one breed.

""On the other hand "All blonde great danes have the temperaments of angels" (not an exact quote).""

Glad you admitted that. In point of fact though, a total misquote.

1. I said Bonnie was an angel, and she was, at least, on every occasion when I saw her.
2. I said good temperament seemed to be a charactistic of Great Danes, and that it was a good thing given their size.
3. I never once mentioned blonde Great Danes.

If you wish to quote me, at least do so honestly.

You cannot see the consistency?..........POOR YOU!

Who pissed on your picnic today?

You choose to see something that isn't there, fine!

Whatever!
