Gotta admit that there are some breeds that absolutely scare me. I used to judge dog shows and I was adamant that the handler hold the dog's mouth and open it for me when I needed to check teeth (for a couple, muzzles were required). Pitt bulls and Rotties were not one of them. Chows and Shar-Peis were. So were Presa Canarios and Malamutes (love them but you have to really know the dog to be sure they're safe). Bull mastiffs are sweeties unless they're having thyroid problems -- then it is time to stay away from them (even the owners) until the meds have regulated them.
