Some dogs races are known to attract people who have social and or mental issues.

Not all pit bulls are dangerous, in the right hands they are some of the nicest dogs I have seen, but yeah.

Personally I don't judge dogs anymore by their races but by their owner, I found it to be much more accurate.

And on a sidenote, this owner really doesn't inspire me much. When she say it was disheartening to loose this dog because she paid for it with her own money... That's the kind of things I hear from the low life with pits.



So we can breed dogs for size, for behaviours like retrieving or guarding, but magically we can't breed for aggression like pit bulls have?

Lmao.


We can actually bread dogs to get them physical attributes but I’ve never seen dog races that were natural home guardian. Pitt bull sure aren’t.

Aggressivity isn’t instinctive, it’s learnt through experience or rather lack of.

Lmao xd lol wtf.


Ehehe you're so mad.


Well-raised pits aren't aggressive. They used to be recommended to watch babies.

"Lmao."


The nanny-dog thing is a myth made up by a breeder and shared through basically Facebook chain letters. There is no historical basis that pits ever were recommended to watch babies.
