Go figure.<

How’s that for scary? Are you as a responsible owner, of one of these dog breeds wide awake now? How about just owning a dog that looks like one of these restricted or banned dog breeds?
I’m sure goldens were put on there by people who hate dog hair!
I know that *I* live in constant terror of being torn apart by a pack of feral Pugs.
[good grief!]
How many people even know what an Akbash or Boerbul *is*, let alone have one?
All 3 of my dogs are on this list; a Springer Spaniel, GoldenDoodle, and Lab/Weimeraner mix. These dogs wouldn’t hurt a fly. Very scary....
