Some of the sweetest, most loyal and most gentle dogs I've known were pits, pit mixes, rotties and dobermans.

Some of the meanest dogs Yorkies, Scotties, and Chihuahua. You can't judge a dog for what the breed is "known" for - we don't associate Bulldogs with bull baiting anymore, do we? You have to judge the individual dog, and more importantly, the owner.

I love pretty much all dogs. I have a soft spot for big guys and girls, the Mastiffs, the wolf-hounds and elk-hounds, what have you. But I love mutts most of all. And everyone should adopt at least one mutt in their life and give it a good home, because it's so hard for them in the world.
