There's absollutly nothing wrong with protecting your children.(You'd be a poor example of a parent if you didn't.)
BUT!!!
Should the rest of the world not keep large breed dogs so you have peace of mind? After all you are teaching your children to stay clear of stray's and property with dogs on it, aren't you? (I don't know about you, but my kids do not trust any strange dog, large or small.)
Do you think it's our governments job to make sure I don't have a dog that could be possibly mean tempered on my property or in my home?(Just to apease a very fickle minority)
I for one don't think so.
FYI, keeping your children safe also involves teaching them to avoid all dangers(including dogs) and knowing where they are every minute of every day untill your 100% sure that they've learned these things that you've taught them.
I'm not going to speak my mind as I normaly would because I have a tendancy to ruin a thread when I do so.
I just hope that your opinion isn't shared by our lawmakers.
I can tell you this as a parent and a Rottweiler owner. No matter what our lawmakers and government say, the only way they will ever get me to give up my dog is to pull the leash out of my cold dead hand!
Have a nice day.
