I think every single comment here raises a valid point regardless of whether or not they conflict with each other.
I think a dog being a nasty ____ is not beyond any breed, however as an adult, small breeds regardless of how vicious are likely easy to deal with. In fact, I remember a good few years ago a family calling their lost jack russel whilst standing on the beach and this thing was panicking around running back to a busy car park... I manage to calm it for a second, but I knew it was going to bolt, I also knew it was going to be a nasty little **** and with that in mind I got close enough to grab it behind its shoulders with both hands and lift it at arms length into the air!! Turned into a wriggling little snapping alligator, but could do nothing to me in that position, I walked it to the beach and let it go in their direction... easy with a small dog.
I think smaller and friendlier breeds - labs etc are bought with the best intentions (and I know what is said about intentions...) but bigger more designed not to be "little wuffles" :haha: are not bought without the additional thought of aggressive aesthetics...(Imo)... and if you push a big dog into bad behaviour or you are incapable the damage is far greater.
Staffies are such a shame, they're beautiful natured and friendly dogs, often incorrectly bought by some slovenly noodle who thinks it makes him look tougher.
