All dogs are good dogs until they are bad dogs. That's the point of training them. Pits are naturally aggressive though.
Pit Bulls are terriers, literally ALL terriers are animal aggressive. Saying a breed is naturally aggressive without any context is incorrect. What kind of aggression? Animal or human? The two are very different traits and because a dog is animal or dog aggressive it does not mean that it is human aggressive and vice versa. And in the greater scope of things, all dogs have aggressive tendencies, doesn't matter how cute or soft it is.
You need animal aggressive dogs for vermin control, hunting, livestock guarding, etc. Does that mean that the dogs will declare a fatwa against all other animals? No. Human aggression in breeds that are traditional guardian breeds like German Shepards, Rottweilers, Robermans, etc is a trait for them to do their job. Does this mean that the dogs will automatically attack every person in sight? No, it means that they are more aloof with strangers on their property or in protecting their owners, exactly like my Cane Corso.
What is the tough dog pecking order?
Can a Rottweiler take out a pitbull? Why are Dobermans so renowned if it looks like they are much smaller than a Rottweiler?
I think the pecking order goes like this:
- Rottweiler - pit bull - Doberman - German Shepherd
Thoughts? I was not sure where to fit the corso. What about malamutes?
NOTE: THis is all fun, theoretical talk, like could Ryu beat Ken? Or would a bear beat a tiger? I would hate to see any dog fight, I have a soft spot for dogs and I like dogs more than I like most people.
Pit Bulls are smaller than all of them and has the weakest bite. My biggest bitch was 38 lbs, compare that to the height and size of the other breeds, size matters. Which is why it is funny when people call my Corso a Pit, they are completely unaware of the size difference.
Theyre smaller, but arent they better fighters because of their aggressiveness and instincts?
Take a Great Dane. HUGE dog, but quite derpy, he would get wrecked
