People who think pits are dangerous or ill tempered clearly have zero experience with the breed, let alone any interest in putting their idiotic generalizations to rest.
You should get into the habit of writing these people off as insecure panty waists just as they write off an entire breed as murderous. There are many, many other breeds that are actually ill tempered.
Dachshunds are apparently the most aggressive breed.
They are, too. Be fucking grateful they arent bigger.
Now that I think about it, an old couple in my neighborhood used to have two dachshunds & they were some of the meanest dogs I've ever met. Thankfully they never attacked me or anything, but when I'd walk past their house they'd always bark so aggressively... apparently they didn't like other dogs much either.
My sister had two of the little bastards and they routinely locked into each others necks and shook each other like rag dolls until the floor was covered in blood.
