Thanks for the clarification. I should have said pit bulls. I didn't formerly have this prejudice until this experience, and I will say that i blame the owners more than the breed. But the truth is, this breed, when it bites, can do far more damage than just about any other due to the structure and musculature of its head and jaws. Any dog can and may bite, and can hurt you and do some damage. But a pit bull can kill you.
Several other breeds can kill you as well, just that the pit bull is kind of known for its supremacy in bite force and that stuff.

Agreed. It’s one thing to have a bitey Chihuahua it’s another thing to have a bitey Pit or any other large breed really. Sadly we have to rehome an Aussie a few years ago because of aggression issues. We hated to do it but we knew we didn’t have the resources to deal with an aggressive dog at the time and it wasn’t safe for us to keep him.
 
I don't dislike any breed of dog, but I do dislike a lot of breeders. It's plain irresponsible to breed dogs with health problems, physical issues, who can't give birth naturally, who can't breathe properly, who are aggressive or untrainable.
Every one of these breeds can include individuals who don't have these problems, and every responsible breeder should be actively trying to breed out the problems.
 
Maltese - Too much fur, too small, do like like their squished face
We've had two Maltese, and neither had a squished face. They both had finely-pointed noses similar to poodles.
Agree with the small size (we had to be really careful not to step on them when they were running around our feet) and the fur (they needed grooming pretty often because they got matted easily, but they don't have a thick undercoat that sheds, they are pretty hypoallergenic, but need a doggy coat for walking outside in cold weather.)

They were also amazingly NON-yappy for such small dogs. They had deep voices for their size, and when they alerted us to people coming to the door (the only time they got barky) the visitors thought it was funny- they were expecting to be greeted by someone more the size of a Cocker Spaniel.
Neither of ours were very intelligent (maybe they were average, but we were used to our Border Collie at the time) but still trainable with time and patience.
I'd definitely have another Maltese if the opportunity came up. Really fun and awesome dogs! More like a big dog in a tiny package.
 
I don't like bully breeds since one nearly ripped my GirlChild's leg off a year or so ago. She'll bear that scar the rest of her life.
I’m pro-bulldog of various breeds. It’s a pet peeve of mine when other pro-bulldog people downplay their dangers. Anything that’s descended from the original extinct Old English bulldog and the later bull and terrier has centuries of catch and kill drive bred into it and that doesn’t easily get bred out. I’ve killed bulldogs for giving me a hint of human aggression. Too many owners ignore the warning signs.

“Pit Bull” is a broad term and can group in American bulldogs. The Scott type or standard American bulldog is consistently the most dangerous type of dog I’ve ever dealt with. I knew a show champion Scott type that killed a toddler two weeks after a show and of the 6 or so other Scott types I’ve known or raised, they all had to be put down for uncontrollable animal and sometimes human aggression. Many “pit bulls” that kill people in the news are actually Scott type Americans or Scott/pitbull terrier mixes.
