Yes Chris alot of chavs around here, but then again it can also be like any other violent dog. People around here still have violent pit bulls, which are illegal. I didn't know until the other day my dads mate has two German sheppards highly trained. He told me to stay clear of the roty and recommended me the same place he got his. He has them as pets and as guards and didn't complain about owning them. The type business he runs it has solved all his issues as well as protecting his child and family. Oh and yea it's not safe walking streets around you have those idiot chavs with knives robbing innocent people. I remember walking my big dog once, passing a group of hody chavs. All made clear way when they saw my dog and got scared, they looked like the robbing type waiting to start trouble or rob someone
