[quote=new2neos] I don't care what your Sheltie can or cannot do, in regards to going toe to toe with a Pitbull. lol A Sheltie's temperment is in no way comparable to a Shih Tzu. Are you for real? [/quote] I'm quite aware the temperaments are different but your arguments were never about temperament they were about your "small" dog and how easily it can be crushed or broken by these big dogs. I was giving you an example of a small dog, only about five pounds heavier than yours in fact, that is perfectly fine. I'm well aware of what the breed is and how they are. You seem to like to make assumptions and not actually read what is said. Whatever happened with that breeder's dogs is due to her own negligence and nothing to do with the dogs not being able to cohabit if properly raised and handled. But, yes, go ahead and jump to your conclusions and assumptions. I will do you the favor of staying out of your threads however. I see now you can't do anything except resort to personal attacks and snide remarks if someone doesn't totally agree with you. It's a shame, you'll never learn and grow that way. Maybe, later, when your defensiveness is in check you can come back and read this... and see what is really being said, not just your assumptions and aggression. The only person calling people names, attacking them, and being rude in this thread is **you**. No use trying to help someone like that. Good luck, you'll need it if this is how you come at people trying to give you honest answers.
