Don't like labels.
I have no children, never wanted any but my pets are not my children, they are my pets and I do love each and every one of them. I do not however treat them like children.
Type of dog does not indicate the personalilty of the owner.....I don't know how on earth you could label an owners personality type by the type of dog they own. Some of the kindest gentlest people I've ever known have owned Rotties or dobies. Some of the toughest people I've ever known have owned ****zu's, Bichons or Poodles.
Plain weird? Please define what that is or what normal is.
The pefect family? I've never met one.
