Doc and Swamp, I think you both are a little over the edge with your claims.

Doc, how many labs do you think there are in this country and how many chessies do you think there are? Nobody knows the real numbers. I am sure the AKC has some numbers of dogs that are registered with them, but those numbers mean nothing. The difference in numbers is staggering I am sure.

Swamp, You are greatly overstating the aggressiveness of the Chessies. To say 95% should be police dogs, come on. Besides, everyone knows the Chessies aren't smart enough to be police dogs.

tatonka makes some good points.
