Dogs are like children, a long term commitment. My current Golden and I have been together 8 years 4 of which he has spent in my (our) bed - grin.
His worst aggressive crime ever - taking a cheeseburger from an old lady holding it too low in a buffet line - lightning fast sneak attack - my fault not keeping an eye on him, even though he was on a lead.
Its temperament, breed and training. A well adjusted dog will not attack, again a well adjusted dog will not attack..
If you need to weary of the animal be doubly so of the owner is my opinion.
My background lifelong affiliation. I took my first obedience ribbon in the late seventies. Dalmation, they can be really nasty by the way –related to pits – look at a well bred pit, you will see the spots.
My family members currently breed, sell and train Rottweilers……… perfect dog after 1 year of conditioning.
And Id bean one of those too if he were to become aggressive. - I would rather have it deal with me than one of the grandkids. In the meantime if you forgot your 5 wood in the car.... its nice to have a few vanilla wafers in your back pocket
