Agreed. Those "breed standards" were set by people, not by the dogs. And the media sure are not helping.

I don't blame you! My dog was originally my brothers, and when he got him, I was a bit scared because I heard a lot of stories about what they have done in the past. Then, I took him for a walk, and I felt like I knew him my whole life. He's now like the jelly to my peanut butter- wait... he'd just eat my peanut butter!~ Oh well!

Exactly! If people would stop wasting so much time cooped up, on the interent, x-box, so on, and actually went outside and WANT to get to know them, the world would be so different. That's why I respond with, "Before you judge my dog, get to know him first. After you know him as much as I do, feel free to make any comments. I'm sure they'll be drastically different from the one that just came out of your mouth."

A small dog, I assume? Yep, you don't know how many people will pick up their little dogs when I walk by with Snoop. Makes me want to slap 'em. The worst Snoop would do would be that he humps them.

Yes, a small dog.
And my dog is female, spayed, and has never attacked or bitten ANYONE. She is the sweetest thing, and she is down right a COWARD. XD

I wish they were! Snoopy only has a few doggie friends, since most of them live farther away after we moved.

You're lucky! I've only ever had 3 dogs, and technically the third was one of my brother's friends dog, but she was with us so much I've always felt like she was mine in a way. All three of them are in the Bullie family, the first being a Staffie, the other a purebred Pit, and the one I have now, an almost purebred Pit. Jade, my brother's friends dog, as mentioned above, was actually euthanized a few years ago, and the Staffie I had when I was little was too. Since all the dogs I've loved in the past have been euthinized, it scares me that Snoop will be too.

I've had lots of dogs from Wire Hair Fox Terriers and Jack Russells to Great Pyrenees and Rottweilers ..I haven't ever had a dog put down..that I remember..I don't see a reason to put any dog down unless that particular dog did something.

Ahh yes, Rottweilers get a lot of haters too, since a lot of people tend to train them as guard dogs. It really does upset me when anyone judges ANY breed of dog, just because they hear something on the news. I agree with you though, a dog should only be put down if it's old, sick or has done something really, really bad.

Yes and not each dog of that breed is as people say they are. The only ones that have done anything wrong were trained to be that way, abused, neglected, or they were just scared.

It does break my heart to think of ways I've seen dogs and other animals been abused. If I go into Toronto, I always see at least one dog that was abused and left on the street. I don't know how many dogs I've begged my mom to let me bring to the THS. Most of them, sadly, never make it through the night. I remember one, who did and got adopted. She too was a Pit, and is now full recovered and happy. Imagine if more people cared about abused animals. The world truly would be a better place.

It would and I LOVE mutts. They always seem to be the sweetest, but I feel like people should stop aimlessly breeding their dogs JUST to sell puppies and make money. Most of them just end up on the street. It would be better if people kept their dogs inside or in a fence instead of letting them just walk around. And I hate when people chain up their dogs. It makes the dog restricted and unable to protect itself.

My dog looks like a pitbull and she's really a border collie with short fur. When people see her, they instantly stereotype her and become scared. It makes me so angry, and I could see why it would upset you as well. :/

Given the fact that I live in a large apartment, with 3 other surrounding apartments, I get at least 5 comments per day about my dog. It makes me want to throw whatever is nearest at them, then laugh at them. As mean as it sounds, I've been hearing the same things and been given the same looks all from day one on that first victory walk with my dog around the block.

Wow, that's horrible...
Why must people be the way they are? D:<
It doesn't sound mean at all, if I were you I'd feel just the same.

Because, my friend, a lot of humans tend to be douchebags these days. Sadly. And I do tend to over-react or get defensive when someone says something about my dog or Pitbulls. After 5 years of listening to it, it's become a reflex.
