[nagdu] Rescued pit bulls fight stigma by guiding people in need

[Julie J.]

I don't know.  I had a Beagle from a breeder and he was truly aggressive.  I 
mean he'd bite first and resume whatever he was doing without even a pause. 
Sometimes he'd growl, but quite often he'd bite with no growl at all.

Monty, my semi retired guide is from a rescue.  He was actually a stray. 
He's probably the best dog I've ever had.

Hi Tracy, I agree.  But rescue dogs can be very unpredictable, no
matter what the breed.  My brother-in-law and his wife have a
spaniel they rescued, and it is very unpredictable.  It growls at
Neena, bit Cleo and is altogether unpredictable.  I think I'd
only get a rescue dog whatever the breed, if I was primarily
going to be alone, not have any visitors, and definitely have mo
other dogs around it.    Debby and Neena
