just get a staffordshire instead, basically the same as a pit but the killer is bred out so it's a great pet again

Duuuh, how else are you going to get a pit to smile? Shrill, gasping nannies are too heavy to pick up and shake above a dog's head.

This looks a lot like suffering.
I like it when I meet peoples' pit bulls and the people try to be cool and hide the fact that they're pissed that the dog isn't being more aggressive and intimidating because I'm pretty much the dog whisperer.

It's not the point, but it would seem like that to someone's who's afraid of dogs, whether because of poor parenting, media over-consumption or an actual bad experience with a dog.
Given the mythology of their violence (which like all myths, has some basis in fact) pit bulls should probably not be your starter dog for getting over your fear. An older labrador would be a good starting point.

the problem is once you know how dogs work, you can tell easily if the owner has control of their dog or not. Most pitbull owners have no control over there dog and it is very obvious. This makes that person's dog scary.

I remember in the last GBS pitbull thread, some Australian who legit owned pitpulls for hunting feral pigs, posted a pic of one of them in a frilly pink tutu walking around with their kid.
I think they where trying to prove that pitbulls are safe near children when trained properly, or something.

you probably should not own one if you don't know what the gently caress you're doing with training a dog

they are more unpredictable and stronger than most other dogs

What I don't get is why they got picked as the "tough" dog as overcompensating dumb people

like aren't there bigger dogs?

Why don't insecure people get one of those irish wolfhound dogs or something?

pit bulls can take out much larger dogs pretty easily because they are a lot quicker and stronger

also have you tried to walk a dog like that? those things poo poo like 10 lbs

I will some day own a German Shepherd. I will name it something very German sounding and it will be very disciplined and wear a handkerchief around :3: also I'll give it lots of doggie steroids so if a retard pitbull tries to start poo poo it will get demolished. I wonder if you can specifically train a dog to only be hostile to a certain breed? Like make an anti-pitbull attack dog.

I don't understand people that already own a big dog (and usually have enough trouble with it alone) then feel the need to get a pit bull. Like, why the gently caress are they so popular where people specifically feel the want/need to get one even though they can barely take care of their first dog?

Maybe they are hoping the pitbull will "take care of" the other dog.

The amount of people who put virtually no thought into getting a difficult dangerous dog like a rottweiler or pitbull is loving staggering.

I know a guy with his masters who just adopted a shelter pitbull on a whim one day, never owned a loving dog before.

Of course he didn't train it and the thing is loving scary to be around.

Impulsive morons seem to love pits, and it is literally very bad for society as a whole, but mostly just small kids.

Edit: lol wtf, how did I get this av?

purely anecdotal so therefore breedist, but when i go to the park, or dog parks, i notice that a pretty large majority of the pit/pit mixes i see aren't even neutered

I would not be looking at their balls. I would be more concerned with the brutal pitbull bloodbath of mangled children and dogs with their throats ripped out that inevitably occurs if even a single pit bull is brought within 400 meters of a park or dog park.
