Whenever people argue about Pitt bulls, whether they're good or bad or violent or awesome or whatever, nobody ever brings up the fact that they're ugly. That's why I don't like them. They look like monsters. They're not cute and lovable. They have those big huge mouths with lots of gross lip and gum and big meat heads.
Give me a cuddly Dachshund or Rat Terrier any day.
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. ---

I mean, pits are prone to random and unprompted outbursts of aggression whereas most dogs tend not to be. Any dog can be aggressive if hungry, mistreated, trained in a specific way, etc. sure. ---

Dog attacks do not happen out of the blue or for no reason. It's not random, there are always precursors and signs that people do not often pick up until it blows up. ---

Emotional response, logic lacking. I'm an experienced dog owner, I train and socialize my animals, they participate in formal obedience training and I know dog language.
While cuddly Muffie will snap at a kid for pestering her, I would have already recognized the signs in my Corso that she does not want to be bothered and would inform the kid. ---

Is the animal a family dog or a resident dog that lives in the back with little human contact? What is the reproductive status of the dog? Unaltered makes account for the majority of fatal attacks.

I think I said its both. For one thing, specific breeds attract specific types of owners. For another, breeds have specific personality traits. ---
just like you "paw" over the death toll and say it's racist?
There are multiple breeds that are called Pit Bulls and it definitely inflates bite statistics, which I think is misleading as there is only one American Pit Bull Terrier. Add that to the fact that most people don't even know what an actual Pit Bull looks like then it's a clusterfuck. Every stocky, short haired muscular dog is a Pit Bull.
If I had a dollar for everytime someone called my Cane Corso a Pit Bull I'd be able to pay my car off, never mind that that she's much taller and heavier at 135lbs, and if that doesn't help her tail is docked at the 4th vertabrae per breed standard. ---

It's not splitting hairs. If it's not a Pit Bull then it's not a Pit Bull, no matter what you may think it looks like. If that's the case then a Lab, Golden Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever are all the same thing. ---

If I had a dollar for everytime someone called my Cane Corso a Pit Bull I'd be able to pay my car off, never mind that that she's much taller and heavier at 135lbs, and if that doesn't help her tail is docked at the 4th vertabrae per breed standard.
you're distracting the issue by splitting hairs on dog breeds
It's not splitting hairs. If it's not a Pit Bull then it's not a Pit Bull, no matter what you may think it looks like. If that's the case then a Lab, Golden Retriever, Chesapeake Bay Retriever are all the same thing.
I'm sure you like to hide behind your dog breeds and you do, because I have no knowledge to counter you. but know this: there IS knowledge to counter you and you are screwing with your karma by defending hash breeds ---
I obviously like you at least a little to even talk to you -cornman one day I hope to post a message so great it ends up in someones sig -Two_Dee
just like you "paw" over the death toll and say it's racist?
There are multiple breeds that are called Pit Bulls and it definitely inflates bite statistics, which I think is misleading as there is only one American Pit Bull Terrier. Add that to the fact that most people don't even know what an actual Pit Bull looks like then it's a clusterfuck. Every stocky, short haired muscular dog is a Pit Bull.

Not to mention even if some are misidentified and lumped in, it's still an extremely disproportionate amount of ownership to attack ratio. Currently well over half of dog attacks are pits bull attacks compared to 3% of dog owners owning a pit. Even if it was really only 25% of all attacks coming from pits, that's still a huge discrepancy. ---

Don't know where you got 3 percent from. Pit Bull type dogs are among THE most common in the country. There are literally millions of Pit Bulls and Pit mixes in the country and they are mostly in cities. ---
"If you want to move fast, practice slowly...if you want to move like lightning, practice in stillness."
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.
