[nagdu] Crisis Averted!

[Doug Parisian]

I suspect the answer for not training certain dog breeds to perform specific 
tasks, whether that be working as a guide, therapy dog, bomb and drug 
detection, police work, etc--these tasks require specific temperaments not 
found in many breeds.

Doug: Ya think many folks would want to pet my guide pitbull?
