Part of the "problem" is that only big dogs generally cause much damage that is *reported*.

I can't tell you how many times the Napolean complex has shown thru on little dogs. Not all - I've known of many nice 1s. Also known quite a few unstable 1s.

Including the "cock-a-poo" of neighbor-friends I once cared for while they were gone (I was maybe 11 or 12). I sat down while she ate, she came up on my lap, stiff and sort of looking at me, and when I moved a bit - vicious angry growling snap at me. Now this too could be spoiling the dog and not nipping those tendencies in the bud - she died some time later and was never a "problem" per se. But I knew however it came about she was unstable and not totally trust-worthy.

It's unworthy of the seriousness of the damage which these dogs cause to equate an aggressive cockapoo to a pit bull's aggressiveness.

The fact is that the pit bulls take lives, I have yet to hear of any cocka poo having any ability to cause anything near such a consequence, no matter the animals intent or owner's ability to control it.
