Amen. I love animals but having dogs around children bothers me. I know there are many better breeds for families with kids, but ever since my brother was bitten on the head by a Collie, I have never understood why some parents have dogs around small children.
Your brother was bitten in the head by a collie? Wow, must be more to that story.
That experience must’ve given you quite a phobia because your statement is one of the top five most ignorant comments I’ve see on this board in the last dozen years.
People are very ignorant about dogs these days.
Collies are a herding breed and those types of dogs are notorious for being easily irritated by children. The dog's instincts require it to seek physical control. They will try to "corral" the child. Same with German Shepards.
People are just plain ignorant about dog breeds and their instinctive behaviors these days. Ask any apologist for pitbulls.
