i don't think cavaliers really have a public opinion

but if they did then tough

I dont give a damn what others think about my chosen breed-why would i?

No i would not!!!!! Couldn't care less what other people think!

Wouldn't change my babe for the world!!!!

Hi,
No i wouldnt change my breed & lets face it they are getting enough stick at the moment
All 3 of mine are well trained & behave brilliantly,even when my Amy has had dogs hanging off her she hasnt reacted at all but all to often people chose to believe what they read in the papers

I won't let others ignorance change my mind about Dobermanns.

ABSOLUTLY NOT!

Although like some others i own a breed that doesn't have a bad reputation - apart from setters are said to be totally untrainable and totally mad - also not true!!

The guy next door owns a rottie and he is a massive dog, i thought mine were big - but this dog is such a softie, loves a fuss and will lay down and roll over in the street for tummy tickles!! i think they are beautiful dogs.

I have to stand by what i've always said - its not the breed - its the training and the owners!!

sorry to those who disagree, i'd hate to think of a dog having to be pts just because of its breed.

NO WAY !!!. I wanted a Staffie for years. I've always liked them and now have one in my favourite Staffie colour, brindle. I hate the fact that people get them as a status symbol because they think they're tough. These ignorant , irresponsible thugs are the ones responsible for giving this breed a bad name. I love the character and endless energy of Staffies, but what I love more is how loving and loyal they are. There should be a "Dog Owners Competence Test" by law. This would weed out the idiots who are not worthy of owning a hamster, let alone a dog. One of the first things I did when I got Missy was enrol her in a dog training class. This should also be compulsory. Missy is very playful and boisterous sometimes BUT she is also very well trained. One example ; on a walk yesterday morning, there was a cat sitting at the side of the narrow path we were on. She saw it and pricked her ears. I said " Missy, leave". She walked straight past the cat, which was only a foot away, and didn't even look at it. If people don't like my dog, that's tough. It's their loss not mine.

Never. I love my dogs - all of them - and I couldn't give a rats a..e whether other people like them or not. Lets face it, the dogs couldn't care less - why should I?

No i wouldnt change breeds unless i found i could no longer manage to walk a strong dog ,but i might be tempted to add another breed ...............................or two

I would have to say no way! Despite being a gundog nut I'd still love to own a BM or brown Dobe and no one is gonna get in my way!
