I've always said your average lurcher ..or dog come to that is 50 lb of muscle and teeth....
thats why my dogs are in the kennel. ..don't want them anywhere near my kids....and there as good as gold with my kids...and mine are just little 35 lb fat whippets as Phil would say...but remember we use these dogs to kill small animals. ..
small kids and babies it would be over in seconds with most lurchers if they wanted to..
God knows how you live with that guilt of owning a dog that's killed one of your kids...or a neighbours child
