Most breed that PPP consider dangerous are the most gentle dogs around kids. I'm not a fan of small dogs anyway. They have the "little man complex". But larger dogs will allow your kids to kick, push, pull, and slap on them and not do a thing. I think they understand better that they are babies somehow. No matter the dogs size, if they are not trained properly and the owner does not act as though he/she is the "leader of the pack" per se, then that's where doesn't don't mind their owners and will always over power them and their commands. You can love a dog doesn't mean you need to be an owner, big or small. But ultimately, you in law is totally wrong. Ppl should read up on breed before purchasing and/or adopting. Learn their strengths and weaknesses as a breed so you are prepared to train and live with them. Pits are one of the many loyal, loving, trainable, protective breeds known. They are great with kids

@sherrynygirl, exactly!! Some people are just so ignorant.

tell your mother n law in my 18 yrs in the Pet industry a Cat will suffocate a baby with 1 paw especially a newborn*everyone should be aware

I am a Professional Pet Groomer for 18yrs i specialize in hand scissorings dogs.and have never been bit.Animals are smarter than people give them credit.#1 all breeds can bite#2.all dogs and small children need supervison.#3 Animals/specifically dogs have the mentality of a 3 yr old so that means exactly that they need to be constantly told whats okay to do and lets not forget they are animals..The biggest difference i know for a fact a damn Chihuahua will bite u no warning..Most big breeed dogs will give you a warning at least..

errdayy @levismom

@jessijane84, bahahaha yuuusssss!!!

@levismom, @mrs.n2014 and yrs and yrs ago the breed came about to be nanny dogs. Look over the children and household while the adults were busy working. I love all animals but the human owners..😣 like yo, im more apt to bite ur ass than my dogs are.

@jessijane84, and FYI. I've had WAY more aggressive issues from other people's small dogs than I've ever had from my big dogs. Roxy actually goes on defense with small dogs now because she's been attacked so much.

@jessijane84, pitbulls have such a bad rap 🙄🙄 my Roxy (brindle boxer) gets mistaken for a pitbull all the time and people back away from her. I'm like, "dude she's a boxer first of all. And second of all, pitbulls are only dangerous when they have irresponsible/weak owners, just like any dominant breed would be."

@mrs.n2014, beyond irritating!!

That is completely true poor dogs that's probably why they are acting out so much!!! I take full responsibility for my dogs behavior and now it's hard to break his behavior.

@jahnessagarcia, exactly. Big or small, all breeds have their unpredictable dogs and it's about being a responsible pet owner. If u act like a drunk belligerent fool 70% of the time (my MIL) steppin on dogs, trippin over them, then ur ass gonna get bit.

Yes! I swear little dogs are the worst. I have a little chiweenie and he is the biggest asshole! I'll be honest he protects my daughter to the fullest from anyone but has temper and I wouldn't trust him alone by her especially since she like to pull his hair and everything.
