Not surprised at all.

2 of my neighboors got rid of their dogs at 6 months of age.

Both bit their young children.

1 neighboor always had the dog outside. Never took it for walks. Dog sat outside and chewed on the kids swing set. i felt so sad for that dog. Why get a pet if your just going to keep it outside. He got rid of it after it bit his kid...funny because once my son was born, he was lecturing me how my dog would get jealous and I would have to choose between the 2. :rolleyes:

Second neighboor got rid of his after it bit his daughter. He was a good owner though. Brought the dog for walks every night, came over and we let dogs play in the back yard. It was a good dog, but he couldnt train his daughter to behave properly around the dog. Alwyas pulling its tail, making growling noises at it face to face while it was chewing its ball, stupid kid things really...His son was pissed at his sister for not lsitening to dad because now the dog had to pay the price. I completely understand his situation, and he still stops me when walking my dog to tell me how much he misses the dog. "In a few years when she's older and understands what an animal is"

BTW, they were a golden retreiver, the other was a yellow lab.

They should ban those breeds too. :P
