Just sort of smacks of irony that they are so defensive of their dogs, say how sweet it is, give the whole it is the owner and not the breed talk, then call in killer to show you how sweet she is.

yeah i absolutely understand your point. it is kind of an oxymoron in many cases. for some people there is a certain aspect of image associated with these dogs, and that's unfortunate, but in some ways having a contradiction of vicious name with gentle behavior is almost better because because of the inherent irony.
like calling a really huge guy "tiny".
one of the other bonuses to have a bully is that you can help bust prejudices one person at a time. i get a lot of joy watching someone's apprehension turn to adoration the first time they meet my dog. she is just under a year old and is still learning her manners and how to contain her excitement when she meets someone but is always friendly.
that's one of the things i have always appreciated about your posts by the way, i don't recall ever seeing you use a "wide brush".
