Kidding, of course. Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, however wrong it may be.

You're right

Its all personal preference

I like both dogs and cats. I've owned more cats and in my experience, you do not want to piss one off, particularly in regards to what they consider as territory (house and humans).

There are some friendly pits but people will always know that Pits, chows, Rottweilers, etc will always be the first breeds to come to mind, when it comes to dog attacks. That's just the way it is. We need more friendly Goldens in this world. Awesome dogs! :)

Cats Vs Dogs

Cats don't bark
Dogs bark at their own shadow, and when you try to sleep they bark louder and longer

I have owned both and I much rather have a cat than a dog. Dogs are annoying

Barking is a behavior that can be controlled and discouraged if the owner is responsible.

I have read/heard that Chows have a tendency to bite and are not good with kids. Again, there are exceptions.

In terms of pits, I think it comes down to breeding/training. I remember two pits I'd ride by on my bike when I was 10-12 y/o. When they'd hear me coming they'd jump off the back porch, tear across the yard, snarling and jumping at the chain link. I never realized how much danger I was in until they dug out from underneath the fence a few years later and killed two neighborhood cats and a dog.

My only recent experience with pits are a friend's and my wife's uncle's. Both are amazingly sweet, gentle with our kids and loving beasts.

Growing up I lived in a neighborhood and a neighbor up the street had a full blown chow that was always tied up in the front yard and every time we'd walk by it or were riding bikes the thing acted like it was nuts, barking and snarling, and looked like it wanted to tear you apart.

"Full blown Chow" makes me laugh, but I know what you're saying. I often make the argument that temperment is more in how a dog is bred/raised than anything else. But, I've never met a "nice" Chow. Met some that seemed tolerant of my presence, but never one that was a genuinely friendly dog.

Same here. There was one in my neighborhood that was vicious and tried to attack kids when it got out. Luckily we had skateboards and could smack it in the head when it came after us. That dog would have tried to kill someone if they were defenseless.

All this evil dog talk got me thinking about this...

Classic. Mastiffs are awesome, too. My wife and I considered them before we got our Dane, but the drool factor was too much for her to overcome.

Ran into a Mastiff over this weekend at the Highland Games at Maryville College. He was a total love bucket. He couldn't go 10' without somebody wanting to pet him and he was soaking up the attention. Having said that I would wager it would have been highly unrecommended to have started getting rough with the nice lady holding the leash.

Any breed that's overly inbred is going to have mental problems along with many other genetic disorders. Many such animals don't live long enough to go psycho because they die young from some other genetic problem or the owners have them destroyed because they don't want to pay for joint surgery.

Some people think the Sandlot dog is a South African Boerboel.

I'm no expert but I think the Boerboels look more Bullmastiffish. I thought it was an English Mastiff in Sandlot because of the jowls.
