Not that it really has any bearing on what I feel should be done with
that dog or any dog that bites a child forcefully, but I have been
wondering what the X part of the dog was. The original post stated that
it was a GSD X.

The problem is, thats you, and me, and most of the folks on this list
know how to raise a well socialized dog without planning or even
thinking about it.  You are the alpha in your home.  JQ Public doesn't
and isn't!  Don't believe me?  Ask your local AC how many kids get
bitten by the family dog.  The numbers are astronomical!  How many
people can't take food from their pet?  Or a toy or a bone?  What about
the dog who won't be quiet when told to? Or the dog who listens to dad
and no one else?  How about the dog who 'won't allow" visitors in your
home?  Behaviorists see cases so bad that the DOG controls the household
- not the family.  Or the vet sees them as he's sending them on to the
next life.....    
Never say never....... Rarely is a dog bite unprovoked.  The problem
lies in what we consider "provoked" and what the dog considers
"provoked."   So many people want and brag about owning an "alpha" male
who is "in charge" whereever he goes.  So when do you brag when that dog
also tries to be in charge of your kids???    

These are animals.  They have to be treated like animals and the public
- non showing but pet owning public - has to be educated in ways to
control their pets like we do.  OR the end result is dog bite and
euthanasia and again the breed, whatever breed they own, is perceived as
"unpredictable."  How many breeds are "known" for turning on their
owners by JQP???????????

Not just my opinion, read the research......Michael Fox, Ian Dunbar,
Animal Behavior Associates Newsletters, etc.
