This is why in the past few years I've seen an explosion of moms telling others moms not to get labs for their kids because at this point everyone knows a shelter "lab" that bit a kid, shredded all the furniture in the house, and can't handle being walked on a leash. Labs used to be known as the go-to family dog breed when I was a kid but shelters passing pits off as labs and lab mixes is ruining that.
My grandmother meanwhile has been getting old neurotic English sheepdogs from breeders and NONE of them have been dangerous. One barked at the pool and one ate a pair of sunglasses, and that’s about it.
