    The only two breeds of dogs that have attcked my dog are Lurchers and Staffies ( and some of my friends dogs), I don't know whether that is a fluke but it is a fact.
    Obstacles are things a person sees when he takes his eyes off his goal.

    The only dog that's bit me was a Daschund, but a one-off event doesn't make for a statistic ;)

    Of course not...but out of all the dogs I have meet and my friends have meet if the only dogs they had had a problem with are Staffies and Lurchers would that not make for a statistic in my area ?:D

    Thank you for the correction,so would you say it is a fluke that these two breeds have often been aggressive ?
