<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>I wasn't attacking dalmations as a breed</end quote></div>

You weren't attacking?

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Interesting how freak has a pic of a dalmatian-not sure if you have had dealings with dog shows freak, but dalmatians have a large reputation of being violent. People try to avoid them</end quote></div>

So yes you were labelling the breed...

I answered

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>It seems like you are now trying to take a cheap shot and rottweilers and boxers...hmm?</end quote></div>

They were the dogs mentioned so I just referred to them...Wasn't a cheap shot, but I just stated the facts......nothing more


to quote myself

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Yes I have had many dealings with dog shows, and I have vowed never to go to them again LOL....I have seen so many things I don't like at shows that I can't bring myself to be in that situation.... </end quote></div>

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>So I'd politely ask you to refrain from bashing my job</end quote></div>

Where was I bashing your job?

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>misconceptions of dog shows-they don't abuse their animals.</end quote></div>

where did I say they abused their animals?

<div class="FTQUOTE"><begin quote>Why do pitbulls have such a bad reputation?-B/c they have been predominantly an inner city dog</end quote></div>

They were bred to do a job to bull bait and fight, and in the wrong hands that's exactly what people make them do, that's why they have a bad reputation, again OWNER RESPONSIBILITY....

The only thing I will argue further is that you didn't completely re-quote my original quote which paints out what I said in a different way and thats not accurate. I don't want to be misrepresented or misunderstood about that-I wasn't singling out a breed, I was pointing out ONLY that I noticed you had a dalmation and that I didn't understand why some people seemed to say that they were a violent breed. So don't misunderstand me please-I am a dog lover, of all breeds and have spent a huge chunk of my life saving dogs and contributing alot of time and money to animals as a cause.

I will agree with your last words however-subject closed!

Funny, I was just noticing the title of your thread Julie-"need to vent". Looks like we ALL needed to vent here!
Let's remember, they're called man's best friend-NOT worst enemy!
Can we at least all agree to that?! <img src="i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif" border="0">

2perfectboys, I guess I should have added "and need advice about going to court" because that's what I meant. Not advice perse about going or not going to court, but advice about the situation. Of course, you guys aren't in my head so you didn't know I'd already made up my mind about court.

There are some points here I don't necessairly agree with but am glad others have mentioned them/pointed them out. However, I dislike that this has turned into a "breed bashing" thread and statements to me about "WHAT IF your dogs bit someone, what if they attacked...." blah blah. THey didn't, ok. I just want some responses to the questions I asked, some pointers about the situation-YES even the pointers I don't agree with.
