Gcraft...I never new that to be a fact...but I believe it when you say that Cocker Spaniels are the most likely breed to bite...(it really is more of a nip than a bite with the breed though)...my Mother had always wanted one and she got one when I was young...that da*n thing would chase me and my brother and just maul us......to me she was more of a bi*cher than a mauler though...it seemed like she would snip for anything...and she was always po'ed....


Pitts on the other hand...I admire...but do not and will not go near one...Pitts as well as Rotweilers will, if you haven't noticed, lock eyes with you...I do not like that...even when a female companion does it...the only difference is that I feel uneasy lowering my eyes to a dog that won't break an eye lock...

Breeds are bred for certain characteristics...unfotinately...Pitts were at one time bred for killing...to train a Pitt to not be agressive is like trying to train a Greyhound to run slow or a Blood Hound to not smell...all of these dogs have pronounced charateristics that can not be "trained" out...certainly I do believe that a good trainer may lower the percentage of a Pitt's aggresiveness, but the Pitt will still be aggressive when it comes down to it...

...I'd much rather have my children nipped at all the time by a Cocker Spaniel than to have a Pitt that has just one bad day give my child a trip to the plastic surgeon...
