Dog Breeds Shepherd Mix

In the Top Ten Most Dangerous Dog list Do you know where these three dogs are placed:?
German Shepherd/Shepherd Mix
Great Dane Dogs
St Bernards
The reason I ask is that a lot of people I meet say my breed of dog is dangerous and bad with other dogs and people. They fail to realise however that German Shepherds are way more dangerous and even Great danes and believe it or not St Bernards. So go on try and guess……. Oh and by the way for all labrador owners out there in 1995 they were number five on the most dangerous dogs list. Are they really as cute as people think? I think not! Just making you aware of facts, Akita’s are not attacking people anywhere near as much as other breeds like, German Shepherds – Labradors – etc.
Their placings depend on what City or State you are in and the popularity of the breed.
Here is a suggestion for you, instead of ONLY worrying about your breed, you should worry about all of the breeds that are being considered for BSL and help people realize that, the absolute, number one factor that determines whether or not a dog will become dangerous is…………… ownership. Humans are most reponsible for dangerous dogs. Humans are responsible for creating the circumstances and behavior that lead to dog bites or maulings.
Dogs bites wouldn’t be an issue if people would 1) research their dogs (breed and/or breeder) before bringing them home, and 2) do some basic socialization and training. It’s not difficult, folks. But most people put more time into choosing a car than their dogs.
Once enacted BSL will spread like wildfire to all breeds so why not work for the elimination of BSL altogether instead of defending only your chosen breed.
The next time I am writing letters and getting signatures for petitions against BSL do you think I should reconsider and only worry about the breed I love? Your breed like it or not has a bad reputation like mine so quit trying to shift the blame or rather the danger and be part of the solution, not the problem.
In IL, all those breeds are on the so called list but so is yours because breed popularity drive the stats.
This is the list of some of the dogs that are considered dangerous or have been considered for BSL.
