Not true Rottys have the strongest jaws for a dog I cannot remeber the LBS/squar inch but it was unreal.
Why ban a breed. Just make laws saying they have to be muzzled. Here in Taber there are 5 breeds that when taken out of your yard you have to be 16 or over, the dog has to be muzzled, and the leash cannot suceed 6 feet in length. But still you hear of dog attacks. It is Dumb a$$ people who lose a ball in someones back yard dont see the dog and jump in. The dog is only doing what it is suposed to be doing, Gaurding the house. Now dont get me wrong there are dogs out there that would nab you if you were walking down the street. I live on the edge of a school feild. If you came running up to my back fence my setter would bark snarl but wont bite if you jumped over but this is because of the hours and hours of training i have put into her to teach her not to do this. It is people who think it is cool to have a breed that will attack other dogs and children.
Some dogs brains also get too large for their head, rotty for example, and the dog goes nuts not the person or the dogs fault it just happens.
When people come to my house they see my setter which stands 30 inches and are scared to death of it, They then see my pom 12 inches high and love her. I love to see the looks on thier faces when i tell them to watch out she bites and the big one dont. I would rather have my setter around kids than the pom. Size dont matter in the dog neither does the breed it is the owner and the type of training they put into the dog that "makes" the animal.
Over all what i am saying is take the time train the dog properly, Put it away if someone asks you. If you dont like dogs stay away from off leash parks.
