Hi everyone!

My name is Mhari (pronounced Mary) and I'm new to the forums. I have no dog as of right now, but i'm working on buying my first house right now so I can get a dog of my own. I have grown up around German Shepherds, Rotties, Chows, Labs, Akitas and various mixed breeds so I am no stranger to big "aggressive" type dogs. I believe every dog should be judged individually and not for their breed. I live in Arizona where only two places have BSLs. The military bases here and a town called Sho Low.

I have read a TON of information about the breed and I feel that I can handle owning one myself. I am a dedicated dog lover who believes dogs should be apart of the family and included in family activities.

So yeah! Any info I can get from you guys is wonderful. Even if i've heard it before! I look forward to participating in this forum. ;D
