Has it been proven that they have a natural tendency to be more aggressive than other breeds? I always assumed they were more feared for their strength.

literally the opposite. The aggression has basically been bred out of them for the most part. But they are animals and they are strong so poor training orr bad ownership leads to attacks.
It was the same with German Shepard dogs, Dobermans, and rottweilers back in the day.

The most aggressive and violent breed I've ever seen are humans. We should make them illegal and sterilize the fuck out of them immediately.

You can honestly have a problem with ANY breed of dog. If a dog is hurting and you don't know, you can unknowingly agitate a dog into biting you without prior problems. You've got to know your animal and treat it correctly. And DO NOT let others assume because it is super friendly to you, that it will be so to them as well. Gotta build that trust first.

I know theyre not a violent breed and I have met many, many very kind pitbulls

But the only kind of dog my dog has ever had problems with at the dog park is pits. I just feel like they play more aggressively than other breeds do. Im not saying ban them or anything, but I wish people would bring them to the dog park less

Sure. But there are some pitbulls that don't play as rough if trained properly.

They are an aggressive breed combined with being strong but pit bulls being aggressive is usually the fault of owners who purchased/adopted a pit bull without understanding the need to or being willing to put in the extra time that dogs like pit bulls require. A pit bull can be perfectly tame, if the owner knows what they are doing and puts in the time.

But most people purchase pets almost purely based on appearance, and have no idea what they're getting into.

neighbor had a pitbull where i lived as a kid. he only hurt you by wagging his tail.

was attacked by a pitbull a couple years ago.

it's the owners responsibility to train them. all dogs can behave poorly if no trained.

I've raised several Pitbulls. The closest any of them got to being aggressive was one of them palyign a little too rough with some of my (half-pit)puppies. I've had chihuahuas and Labs more aggressive than a pit.

Anyone who says it's the breed has no idea what they're talking about.

Honestly I see people make claims that its about the breed, or that it isnt the breed its all the owner, but no one ever seems to have any evidence other than anecdotal for either claim

Pit Bulls are generally human friendly but they're dog aggressive, comes with the territory a dog that is both terrier and bulldog. I've owned Pit Bulls before, actual Pits (not these bully mixes being passed off as one) of the 30-55 lb gamebred variety with fighting dogs in their pedigree and they were the sweetest dogs toward people but did not tolerate other dogs for the most part. Every dog is an individual and can be hot or cold toward other dogs but I don't think bully breeds should be set up for failure by bringing them to dog parks

I don't like dog parks personally and I don't bring my Cane Corso because she's dominant toward intact females. If another dog tried to start something with her it would have a very bad day so I don't even bother with dog parks, I just take her to socialize at my dog trainer's facility or arrange play dates with dogs that i know she is cool with.

Usually in these situations in which something is made illegal that enough people already own, a "grandfather" policy could be applied, in which current owners would be allowed to keep their pets until they die naturally (or are put down by choice), but you would not be allowed to buy/adopt said banned pet from that point forward (or bring them from out of state).

It's hard. Like people, they are all different. It's probably a little of both. Whatever is in their nature plus how they are raised. The proof could also be knowing pits who are nice to both humans and dogs... maybe...

I figured they'd b grandfathered in. But after that, would we just let them go extinct, or keep them in like zoos and stuff? Personally, I'm against banning them. But I would like to know what they would do...

You can train them to be not aggressive, but it's when the fight or flight response kicks in that matters.
You can't train something that's been bred for generations out of a dog. Take into account how strong they are, and you have a recipe for disaster.

No, but I think owning a pitbull shouldn't be the same privilege as owning a bichon frise.

I would greatly support a licensing system where only those that have passed a dog obedience training course may own one. Pitbulls are disproportionately involved in attacks, but much of it has to do with horrible people owning those dogs.
