Do you watch the Dog Whisperer. Because Cesar is an expert on dogs. Literally an expert. He says that it absolutely does not matter the breed of dog, but the training, owner, and life treatment of the dog. He says that toy dogs are equally as aggressive as pit bulls or rotties, it just depends on their training and past. He actually has more problems with toy dogs on the show.

Quoted from cesarmillaninc.com
I deal with a lot of red zone cases, and I often hear people INCORRECTLY blaming the breed. Any breed can cause trouble. The difference between an aggressive Chihuahua and an aggressive pit bull is that the bigger breeds can cause proportionately bigger damage. It is important to recognize the power of a strong breed, like the pit bull, the Cane Corso, and the Mastiff. These dogs are very powerful and, if they are unbalanced, they can cause serious injury.
Remember, these dogs don’t dream of being in the news when they grow up. Dogs don’t premeditate bad acts like people do. Bad things happen when powerful breeds (or mixes of powerful breeds) live with humans who like the breed but don’t understand and fulfill the animal in the dog. Many people consider the look or popularity of a breed before thinking about whether the dog works for their lifestyle. This is a recipe for disaster.
To control a powerful breed, you need to become the dog’s pack leader and establish rules, boundaries, and limitations. You need to fulfill the dog as Nature intended him to be fulfilled. If you are considering adopting a powerful breed, make sure you are willing and able to take on the responsibility.

more toy dogs have problems becuase people assume they can do nothing and the dog will be trained- voila! but it doesn't work that way. responsible pet owners will realize that a large dog can do more damage due to size than an untrained small dog, and that they have to concentrate on training a larger dog more.

cats are great so are dogs I say get what you want your the one who has to live with it Helwa I also was bitten when I was about 3. My grandparents had a german shephard it grabbed me by the neck from behind and shook me like a rag doll. At least it did not make me afraid of dogs as I have had dogs for pets in the past however I guess I would have to say I myself would never get a german shephard for the above mentioned reason and this is just a personal thing Our cats are very affectionate and love to be petted they are kept away from the birds though poor buddy he sits on the otherside of the screen door sometimes and crys because he wants to be by me (buddy is one of our cats) One thing nice about the cats is you can go away for a few days as long as they have enough food and a few clean litter boxes and water you can't do that with a dog However now that we have the birds can't go anyway. About all we have done is go overnight don't leave until all the birds are cleaned fed and watered with extra's of everything and then we are home by the next day. If it were longer I know I would have to get a sitter. I'm seriously thinking of becoming a bird sitter myself has anyone here done this as a job?
 My name is Connie
