Actually I dislike small dogs, they are yappy, trip you up and are far more likely to bite you.
We've also had retrievers as gun dogs, we also had a German Shepherd we took in at six months old because the owner couldn't 'manage her,' too boisterous he said, she wasn't she just needed exercise. We had 13 lovely years with her.
Dogs as such aren't a danger to the public or in private, we have guide dogs here for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, dogs who can warn when epileptic attacks are about to happen, dogs interact with autistic children they provide comfort, companionship, safety. Around our way farmers need them for working the sheep, police dogs are invaluable. Ex Forces personnel with PTSD find dogs a huge help as well. Dogs all in all provide far more than they detract.
As I've said before we don't have problems with packs of dogs here and I really think you are having a love affair with this whip/sjambok thing, they are just tools, not objects to be gloated over (or to have endless videos posted on, I've seen the same one from you on several threads now)
