I was bitten by a Collie as a kid. It didn't affect me though. I have no fear of dogs, regardless of breed, and love them to death.

who knows what you are supposed to do if you are attacked by a dog? I've heard some say that if you can get a grip on it's collar and kick it in it's groin you may have a chance, others that you should play dead. It depends on the dogs size too

NO I WILL NOT ADOPT. enough of that talk maybe i have to expain everything upfront.
i need a puppy. i have a severely autistic kid in the house that doesn't do well with animals.... so she needs a puppy so that she can get used to it being around...
also i've been going to 3 shelters and some rescues for a year and there are just no puppies. and sorry but i do want a good breed not a mutt. these are animals not humans.. we eat animals daily.

Had it happen a few times. Every time I didn't freak out and stood there and all the dog did was bark and sniff me. The one time I got bit was at my grandmothers friends house. The dogs name was Sampson. He was just a mean dog.

awww...don't be like that.
In all honesty...pure breds were mutts at one time. They come from breeds mixed together to form a specific, unique breed. They're just high priced mutts now
Are you using the puppy as part of some animal therapy approach?

With all that talk of eating animals maybe this is the dog you should get.

I agree I don't want a mutt either I like mutts but I WANT a purebred American white shepherd. Armen the Lad puppy would be great for you.

another question...(and you can tell me it's none of my damned business)
have you considered a service dog for your autistic child? have you done any research on autism, animal phobias, and pets, especially in relation to having a puppy vs a trained service dog?

common .. a golden retriever can't even kick it's chew toy's ass. but when he's big enough i'm hoping that bully will think twice.. he bit my doggy yesterday

I was kidding (mostly)
Often times, size doesn't mean much to dogs.
