Hi, We had our first boxer when I was about 14 years old. My father loved them. The rest is history for me. My brothers have other types of dogs. Most dogs are great pets as long as they are bred correctly and trained. Suddenly, we have two pit bulls running loose in the neighborhood together. Perhaps they belong to the new people on the next block, but the neighbors are not happy. Of course, all we ever hear about are the horror stories with those dogs. I don't trust them either and certainly wouldn't have them around a baby or young child. Some people think they are great animal lovers, but haven't got a clue. Otherwise, they would train and protect their animals. An animal running loose off their property is not protected. Sad! Pat
