real question: i don't get why it's so controversial to say certain dogs are more aggressive than others. isn't that what they're often bred for? is it really just as likely that a golden retriever will maul a small child as a pit bull?

yeah it probably is just as likely in that sense

now if you replaced "small child" with "another dog" you'd have a point. human aggression isn't a desirable trait in fighting breeds.

edit: I used to work at animal shelter and whenever pit bulls were brought in (most common breed aside from chihuahuas) they'd almost always pass the human aggression test but about half of those would fail the dog aggression test and have to be euthanized.

"haha labs love water and fetching!" yep that's how we bred em!

"wow shepards live up to their name and will herd anything!" yep that's how we bred em!

"neat bloodhounds love following trails and being outdoors!" yep that's how we bred em!

"pitbulls are muscular and extremely aggressive with unpredictable tempers!" HOW DARE YOU YOU MONSTER MY PITBULL IS ADORABLE AND CUTE AND IS ONLY AGGRESSIVE WITH UNFAMILIAR DOGS, CATS, CHILDREN, AND MAMMALS!!!

it seems like people conflate human racism (bad and wrong, obviously) with the simple tenets of selective breeding in domesticated animals

Most people are legitimately too stupid to realize that a dog selectively bred for pit fighting with the bite force of 235 lbs can simultaneously be both loveable & dangerous. They will just explain how their dog is really sweet and ignore the biology of the animal entirely. Most pits are super sweet puppy dogs but also they can tear your throat out pretty easy. People also assume that dogs only attack for good reason & as long as you have a well tempered pit you won't have a problem, which is not how animal behavior works.

pit bulls look retarded. like, literally retarded. if a dog could "look" retarded, it would look like a pitbull. you can't honestly look into its eyes/face and think "AWW CUTE". and, as has been said, they are a good litmus test for the personality of the owner

German Shepherds though are the way to go if you gotta buy a big violent attack dog



so noble, Nazi-approved

depends on whether it's one of those retarded slope backed inbred monstrosities or a proper straight backed working dog that won't get hosed up hips

Pit bulls are a good thing and shouldn't be banned, because then all the idiots would own and ruin the reputation of other, nicer dog breeds instead. German shepherds were pretty universally hated until the pitbulls saved them.

aren't most dog attacks from lovely little poms and other tiny dogs but they go unreported because a pom ain't doing poo poo if it bites you?

probably since owners of small dogs are almost universally terrible at disciplining them.

There was a news story of a pit bull "attacking" the baby that was left unsupervised. It was running around with the baby still attached to it. We had a thread about it a few years ago.


So yeah, pitbulls are scum.

it's a combination of fight genes, high energy and a dominant disposition that makes them dangerous in the hands of retarded idiots

also human aggression and dog aggression are two entirely different things for a dog

some of the most loyal, well behaved, and loving dogs i have met have been pitbulls.

then again im a white guy living on the coast in California with people who love dogs.

maybe it has something to do with the poo poo environment many are raised in?
