Hey Like I said I don't hate the breed. I don't hate any breeds. It was just something that really affected me. Its one thing to get bit by a dog that doesn't live with you. But to live 3 years with this dog and just watch him get worse and worse it affected me. If a Shih Tzu needed me in the future would I help it, yeah. But give me a Pit Bull, Rottie, Chow Chow, Dobie (any breed the public has a bias against) any day before a Shih Tzu.
