No you weren't.Just exressing my dog preferences: others have different preferences I know!
Imagine what a town would be like if everyone had a great dane or irish wolfhound!
If my preferences are not of interest so be it!

Prolly ladrone-free. Sounds like a plan!Imagine what a town would be like if everyone had a great dane or irish wolfhound!

Based on that comment, I suspect you own a gay miniature chihuahua...
Were you "Produced" by one of those giant breed of dogs?????

Our dog was poisoned in our yard last year, on Christmas eve. Some guy in a White Corolla drove through our neigborhood throwing pieces of salami in yards that was laced with tres pasitos.
We got various videos of the culprit in his car, throwing out the bait, but the police couldn't/wouldn't do anything, at least that we know of.
Our 14 yr Golden Retriever died within minutes. There was no time to do anything. RIP Sheena!
No you weren't.
You were overlaying your "preferences' on others.
How about you live your life and leave others alone? You have a problem with that?
No.Do you have a problem with that?

Just observations: I like Dominican dogs - small ones. gringos here have to live with the stereotype or image projected to Dominicans, whose land it is, by other gringos. I do not like pit bulls and I do not think I am alone in that : Many Dominicans and non Dominicans agree ; in other countries these animals have to be muzzled and on a leash in public.
Small friendly dogs with responsible owners are the ideal for many dog owners and non dog owners alike.
My opinion is that they are less likely to stand out and attract criminal acts such as poisoning and unduly emphasise the gringo has possessions that are worth time and trouble stealing possibly including poisoning the dogs.
Do you have a problem with that?

No.
Just quit telling others how to live their lives.
Fatalities from Roties, American pit bull in other countries far exceed the numbers that might be expected from the proportion of the breeds compared with the total dog population. I fail to see the need for gringos to add to the number of thse dogs or any large dogs in the DR. Eventually it is hoped that DR introcuces more dog controls including those for dangerous breeds. In the meantime...

How did we go in this thread from anti-poison kit to fatality rate?
Oh well...
For what its worth, I have said it already a million times. A dogs character is for 95% formed by what his owner makes of him.
The other 5 % is genetically which makes a few unlikely breeds the most dangerous i.e. cocker spaniels but the red ones (red rage syndrome), chocolate labradors. And if you go by the statistics the beige labrador is the most dangerous but statistics are what you make of them because the beige labrador is one of the most sold pets in the Northern hemisphere.
Pitbulls are not my cup of tea but that's personal opinion and experience. They do have a very short fuse and once over the edge their bite is very dangerous (read they do not let go easy) which IMHO makes them not an ideal pet for anybody to have. To give an example out of the training practice world. My dogs (Malinois) go for it, bite and let go as soon as I give the command. A pitbull needs to be relaxed on the sleeve before he will or can let go. So imagine an apache gently tapping on the pitbulls head whilst he is hanging on the sleeve and saying in a sweet voice Oh your such a good boy, ssst, its alright...to calm the dog so he can unlock his jaws to let loose.

Your dogs bite people or only rats?
