Not quite as funny when you live next door to free roaming nutty ones and have little kids, livestock and/or cats. :(
I appreciate that you take good care of yours
My point really was:
irresponsible breeding and ignorant pet owners are to blame for the bad rep in my opinion - it's not just all myth and hype.

(just to clarify: the people friendly one is the one that's chained now. He'd come over and say 'hi' and I was okay with him. The female was nutty as a bed bug even when she was just a few weeks old. She's never been chained up. I've never seen a dog that young already so vicious. It was impossible to make friends with her even as a puppy and I am usually very good with animals. They bred her and her offspring is just like her.)
