I would be in favour of a ban on pugs, with a grandfather clause, of course. Mine bit me at the vet once, and holy crap did those tiny little jagged teeth go deep!
Seriously, there are two pit bulls at the dog park I go to, and they can get rough when playing and people are generally nervous around them, but they are the most well-trained dogs I've ever seen. 600 metres away, if the owner calls them, they stop everything and run to him. I've seen the dogs lay still for 30 minutes when told to stay next to the playground--they just chill out on the grass and watch dogs run by them.
I once commented to the guy that they were incredibly well-trained, and he said "they have to me." He was definitely not your stereotypical bully breed owner.
