And do you think it's just a "stereotype" when you see how "dog aggression" is discussed ad nauseum on these boards? It IS hammered over and over again and what IS someone SUPPOSED to think about the breed when they come here to learn.

Well, I expect them to learn that not everything is always rainbows and butterflies when it comes to Bully breeds. It's the people who skirt around the idea of DA and never mention it as a possibility that are the issue.

In some areas, people DO dock the tails of Pit Bulls.. no clue why. But I agree that it sounds like this dog might not be an APBT.

As for the OP, I would go talk to your neighbor about your concerns with the dog. If you think that's pointless, well, then you're kind of SOL. It doesn't sound like they're being irresponsible with the dog, so not much you can do. I don't walk my dogs around my neighborhood anymore because of a few neighbors who think it's okay to allow their small dogs to hang out in their front yards off leash. Not because my dogs are DA (they love other dogs), but because I'm not willing to risk anything happening and having my dogs get the blame.
