I'm sorry but those two breeds you pointed out are working dogs. They have been breed to protect their owner and in order to do that. They are typically more aggressive than other breeds. Dalmations on the other hand have a high risk of biting their owner and family members do to their bloodline and breeding practices.

People need to understand why they want a dog and what that breed is used for. They shouldn't just go for a breed because it looks cool or they think it'll protect the house. It's annoying to see posts like these that are judgemental of dogs in general.
