""Don, I quote "There are no breeds which are less dangerous. Every dog is a wolf with a veneer of domestication."

Make up your mind.

SIGH!!!!!

Context Richard. The posts above had singled out some breeds as dangerous and some as safe.

My response was that, dependent on the effectiveness of training, no breed was intrinsically less dangerous than another.

Perhaps I should have said "more or less dangerous", but I assumed that the context would take care of that.

So here goes for another try.

All breeds represent the same degree of risk, higher or lower, according to how well they are taught to socialise with humans, particularly small humans.

Does that suffice?
