I have been researching ALL kinds of dog breeds since i was young. I live in an appartment now, and also can't afford a dog at this point.

Also mixed breed dogs similar to these breeds. I like large short coated dogs who are very friendly, able to be playful and energetic, but also layed back when we are relaxing at home.

Why are people so ignorant when it comes to dog breeds? Everytime there is an item on the news about Pit Bulls, dog fighting, et al, the rescue centre has a fresh batch of Staffordshire Bull Terriers dumped on them. They had one dog brought back by a woman who got her dog from a rescue centre as a puppy. When it was 2 years old the vet said it looked like a Staffy cross. Did this woman look up the characteristics of Staffys and see how family orientated they are? Did she think 'we've had her for two years with no problems'? No, she promptly dumped the dog as it was 'dangerous'. If people do their homework before owning a dog (or commenting on Yahoo answers!), and find out a little more about them then these poor dogs wouldn't be turfed out of homes, not because the dog is in any way nasty or dangerous, but because of the ingnorance of the owner. I for one found out everything I could about my chosen breeds before making a decision as to whether it was the breed for me, why can't others do this and save dogs from the pound?
