I've had a baaaaaaaad experience with a rescued chow. Never again. Terriers chew up the furniture, shoes, rip up the carpets and can basically destroy the house.
Use caution? Because although it is likely a very sweet dog, one is not sure of it's genetic or environmental causes of possible aggression issues.
I've had a bad experience with several breeds of dogs. That doesn't mean I write off the whole breed, but eh, I know some do and that's your perogative.
HOWEVER, you are *really* making a very broad-sweeping statement with your terrier judgement. Did you know that any and all breeds are capable of doing the things you've condemned terriers for? It's called training, containment and supervision my friend. If that's all it takes for you to write a breed, a whole family of breeds even, off....then all I can say is WOW, I'm suprised you share your life with any living creature.
And again, the last sentence quoted there.....um, that can be applied to ANY and EVERY dog, regardless of breed.
Please don't generalize because of a handful of experiences. There are plenty of people here than can testify to the wonderful attributes of terriers. And I bet they even still have houses that aren't destroyed.
But, anyways, good on you for pulling the lab. I looked at the pics though and honestly, (unless I looked at the wrong pics..) I really think she has some pit bull TERRIER in her. For reals. :yikes:
