Whatever you do, don't get a dog with pit bull ancestry. Despite being a small percentage of the population, pit bulls are responsible for a majority of fatal dog maulings. Frankly, the breed ought to be genocided out of existence. I envision a doggie DNA test as a prerequisite for pet licensing or services at a veterinarian. If genetic markers indicate pit bull, the dog must be immediately seized and destroyed. Has anyone ever noticed the type of people who own pit bulls? They are usually hoodlum or trailer park types. Or white women who have a savior complex.
Dachshunds aren’t yippy.
But they are nippy. Not exactly family dogs.
What is your experience with pit bulls, Gift(de)? I mentioned I had one. He's about 8 months and 65 pounds of pure muscled cuddle. My middle daughter was a vet tech and reports that pits are the most agreeable and satisfying breed to work with. Do you have these experiences?
OK, so, in full disclosure, Kipper does play rough, but, whatever. A few missing chunks of flesh and machete like scars on my cue ball head add to my already krusty demeanour.
Dackels, on the other hand, are indeed nippy and cantankerous beasts.
Schreckliche Hundrasse.
