it can be very difficult to train out inherent characteristics of dogs. sometimes you think you succeed but it turns out you did not. and given the difficulty of training pit bulls, even by experts, it makes no sense for this breed to be available to the drooling public.

there has been a lot of bad breeding too with idiots crossbreeding pitbulls with poo poo like bulldogs and mastiffs and other working dogs which have been bred for other purposes like hunting or attacking people as working/guard dogs

so now whenever those hosed up bloodlines reproduce you're rolling the dice on which set of conflicting instincts are going to win out especially when combined with bad training, bad environment, stress etc

if we're going to do away with a breed today though it should be bulldogs and pugs and all those hosed up skull dogs because their life is pain

it's really funny how everyone acknowledges that breeds have different temperaments and personalities. until it involves pit bulls, then it's totally impossible that some breeds might be more inclined to murder things.

dogs were bred for different things

some dogs were bred to herd animals

some dogs were bred to help hunt

and some dogs were bred to maul other animals to pieces.

The main issue is that not that "pit bulls" were bred for animal fighting or aggression, it's that they've mostly been bred at random for profit in order to fulfill growing demand for dogs that look and act like complete drooling retards 100% of the time (see also: pugs.) Their ancestors 50 or 60 years ago were bred for animal fighting and they were relatively easy to train and control, so pit bull attacks weren't nearly as prevalent. Then they got popular and people cranked out as many of them as possible mixed with whatever was handy, so the genetic pedigree of a modern pit bull is pretty much equivalent to the floor stains in the back room of an adult bookstore. You might get a dog predisposed to cuddle babies or you might get one predisposed to eat them--every pit bull is a new adventure!!

i tell people if you got a lazy pibull, ur safe. if you got a high energy super lovable one, that that is its huge prey drive which can switch on out of nowhere. i had one that was super sweet with everybody and everything when young, and after not being exposed to children or other dogs for a few years, decide that they are both very delicious looking things when it next saw them.

we domesticated foxes from their ferocious natural state to affectionate toward humans in only 8 generations (8 years) solely through selective breeding
if you think breeding for behavior is dismissible as science fiction youre either a complete nut or applying principles of human psychology ill fittingly to dogs

It's not a service dog. Pit bulls are not service dogs.
But there are stupid laws in CA that let you apply to have your pet be your "service" dog so you can bring it with you places and whine about how you need it there abloo abloo.

Horses are assholes though. A horse isn't smart enough to have a sense of morality, but it is drat sure smart enough to be cunning, devious, or spiteful.

Reminder that once pitbulls reach maturity and become horses they are virtually indistinguishable from horses that matured from different breeds.

It starts to get really exciting in 2003.

Kill all pit bulls in shelters. Kill any pit bulls that show up in shelters. If people breed them properly, sure let a few wander around. But don't let any dumb rear end just walk in and get one because that is all that is available.

That site is full of wonderful stories

The boy was killed when visiting the trailer where the dogs lived to check on one that he had hit earlier in the day with his go-cart. The boy's father and cousins were accused of burning the trailer where the dogs lived in retaliation.
