Not trying to be a dick but it's an attitude like that which spreads a bad name for pit bulls,
Now they are a restricted breed which sucks
No dog is born aggressive (most) the owner is responsible 95 percent for the animals behaivoir, and while some breeds are more aggressive, it's up to the owner to have the skill todeal with these animals responsibly and protect them and other people (especially children) from situations that put them in danger.
Rant ended.
ohhhh man, don't get me started. My dog is a rescue, she was returned by two prospective adoptees. I volunteer at the local SPCA, It's a HUGE passion of mine, I've had three pit-bull mixes, and every one of them were the sweetest dogs ever, they were used to babysit children, years and years ago, NEVER did i say i train my dog for aggression, in fact it's one of the STRONGEST beliefs i have.
Also a lot of northern breeds are somewhat naturally aggressive, chows, german shepard, malamute, huskies, etc. The closer they are related to wolves the more issues with attack, generally speaking. Especially when considering animal to animal attacks.
Please, please, don't make assumptions about me.
And after reading many, many dog-behavioral books,(six books and about a total of 4-5 hundred pages) the general consensus with the experts is ANY dog can ATTACK at ANY time. They are animals. My dog is an absolute sweetheart i have a 3 yr old niece and they LOVE each other, but i'd never leave my dog with her alone.
Small things that squeal, run away or cry when attacked are almost irresistible to dogs.
So maybe you need to re-read my initial post, i have re-read it, and find it hard to believe that you were lead to think that i mistreat my dog in any way (or spreading a bad name for her breedmates). All i said was if someone were to mess with my dog, she can take care of herself, not to mention i'm fairly intimidating myself.
so i humbly ask you. why was my attitude spreading a bad name for pits?
