No matter what age we never learn some things!

it is really sad that any kind of dog is banned! It is not the dogs fault- its bad owners. People have the capability to make anything crazy - small dogs/ children/ birds/ you name it. Even if the dog breed has a heritage of fighting does not mean it will fight when given the opportunity. I've been rescuing and fostering pit bulls for 11 years - I've had dogs that have been fought - abused - beaten and not one of them have ever snapped/ bitten or pronounced violence in any manner. Once a dog is shown love, affection and safety they (usually) will turn back around. I grew up with pits as a child and my neighbor had a golden retriever (great dog) but out of 11 years my friends family etc never had a bad experience with the pits then one day the golden ran out of the back yard and bit me on my arm and then bit my friend. Moral of the story there are no bad breeds just plain bad people. Punish the deed not the breed!

My wife had an Irish Setter when we were dating that would nip any food he could get. She cooked a roast and left it to cool on top of the stove......gone.

Aren't all dogs sneaky food stealers? I remember this one eating all the Christmas snacks, the one time he was allowed to sleep inside. I had no idea, chocolate was to his taste, or perhaps he was just jealous? I was soo angry the next morning, but it was too late to punish him anyway and then he looked completely innocent, when I went to look for him, so I hugged him instead. Definitely, my favorite dog breed, but I wouldn't say no to a Husky. One of my rare good shots.

Of course he was thoroughly trained, but it seems, the only thing he actually learned is how to lay low after carrying out a mischief.

Heh! We've had a few of those. Mine is shameless, she just pretends nothing happened. She's got the "who, me?" look down pat.
