Sad. I am in Arlington.
I have two German Shepherds. The 7-year old female is adopted. She barks but will never bite. I trust my two kids with her whole-heartedly. The 6-year old, 95-pound male, has been raised in our house since he was 8 weeks old. However, I don't fully trust him with my younger daughter. These are German Shepherds. They have never exhibited aggressions (baring teeth). They are both extremely protective of my family. Anyway, I have scheduled to have Bandit neutered next month because I read somewhere that this procedure will give him a healthier life.
When I see pit bulls at the park, I do my best to keep my distance.
