chitoryu12 posted:Studies have been made attempting to prove that pit bulls are unusually aggressive, but all of them are criticized either for bad data or misinterpreting it. They are large and physically powerful, which makes them more dangerous than a chihuahua if they attack someone, but controlled studies that accounted for dogs' training and home environment found that pit bulls and other "aggressive breeds" aren't really any more dangerous than others. The American Veterinary Medical Association even discredited its own study from prior decades that had previously claimed that breeds like pit bulls and Rottweilers are unusually aggressive. That still doesn't eliminate the prey drive and lovely behavioral issues that are shared between all Pitbulls. You can't even keep more than one without crating because they get weirdly neurotic about the other one being near you. Rottweilers and Dobermans don't have the reputation for being that bad that they require crating/rotation to be around their owner.

I think it has more to do though with people not thinking poodles are capable of anything, so parents leave their kids unattended around them and don't bat an eye when junior is using the dogs tail as rope swing.

chitoryu12 posted:Pit bulls have an undeserved reputation for being mean, aggressive dogs that you can use as a tough guard dog that rips up burglars. So assholes who want an aggressive guard dog buy them and abuse them (usually because they're assholes who don't know how to take care of an animal) until they become mean, aggressive dogs that rip up anyone they see. It's a vicious cycle that ends up getting a completely normal breed vilified and abused. Same with dogs like Rottweilers and Dobermans. Staffordshire Bull Terriers (Staffies) get a horrible reputation also which is completely undeserved. They were originally bred as bull fighters and were used for dog fights but every Staffy that I have ever met has been the happiest little idiot. From what I have heard, the big thing is that poor owners train them to be aggressive and Staffies just want to make people happy by obeying them. Of course they're also often stolen because they're just too friendly and easily adapt to changing house.

I think the conclusion is that a shittily raised example of a less-aggressive breed will still be a bigger shithead of a dog and more dangerous than a well raised example of a highly aggressive breed. For my piece, the most aggressive and lovely dogs I've ever encountered have all been chihuahuas and mixes thereof.

We called her over and she drat near sprinted so people could pet her and play with her. She just wants nothing more than to be loved by everyone and unconditionally loves everyone.

Yeah, a neighbour of my mum & step dad have a staffy that belongs to their daughter. At Christmas time it just tore around the neighbourhood and just ran up to my parents house for some attention and then went sprinting away a minute later. The only problem is that they drool everywhere so you don't want them anywhere near a carpet.

Rottweilers and Dobermans don't have the reputation for being that bad that they require crating/rotation to be around their owner. Not to mention, being a bad dog owner includes not acknowledging the likely character of your dog. See also: people who adopt border collies they don't intend to let out of their tiny apartment. ... Unless people legitimately believe that you can breed a dog for literally any behavioral trait except aggression, which is asinine considering we've shown that canids can be bred for lower aggression, which implies other lineages are relatively more aggressive!

They just don't have the temperament, even if the owner treats them like poo poo. My parents have owned Staffy's most of my life and every one of them has been a 60 pound sweetheart. Cythereal posted:I think the conclusion is that a shittily raised example of a less-aggressive breed will still be a bigger shithead of a dog and more dangerous than a well raised example of a highly aggressive breed. I think part of the reason that toy dogs end up being the most aggressive is a combination of a lack of training and admonishment. Instead of seeing a barking Chihuahua and smacking it on the nose, everyone just kind of hovers over it and giggles at its impotent rage.

Rottweilers and Dobermans don't have the reputation for being that bad that they require crating/rotation to be around their owner. Agree 110% - my family had a 130 pound female Rottweiler named Bertha when I was younger. She was the biggest teddy bear and had the sweetest demeanor of any dog I've ever had, and was extremely tolerant. Protective too, if she so much as heard someone say "ow" or sensed something was up, she was up, alert, hair on end and ready to keep the family safe. A couple times she got out of the garage or back yard, and wouldn't bother any other people or pets - more often than not we'd find her laying in the grass a block away with kids fawning over her, just soaking up attention  The worst thing she ever did was drop nasty rear end silent farts, but goddamn if it wasn't hysterical to see everyone's reaction.

I took care of a Chihuahua a few years ago and his biggest problem was extreme clinginess. He would get very attached to whoever was taking care of him and cry at the door whenever one of us leaved. Even if just one of the people in my family walked out temporarily, he would get upset and have to be taken care of.

Possibly but they do not kill people when they are aggressive, pit bulls do, and more often then any other breed.

That is pretty much it though. The right to show lethal force and use it to suppress speech has and is being upheld all the time. Look at open carry laws and what the other poster said. Its basically saying to everyone through physical action that you are armed with lethal force and are clearly ready to use that force. This completely changes the 1st amendment protected right of everyone around you to the point that laws favor the person with the weapon over your right to say something that might piss them off. Edit: The analogy to guns with pits seems dead on to me as the other poster said. Sure its legal to have that Rocket Launcher but WHY do you exactly need a rocket launcher unless you intend to gently caress poo poo up at some point?

And they're mostly owned by the scum of the earth that thinks having one is badass. Put ten million german shepherds in the hands of chavs and wannabe gangsters and they news about german shepherd maulings will start soaring too.

nerdz posted:Now for some BREAKING NEWS dog schadenfreude: When i worked at YVR a dog crate with a tiny dog broke open and the dog got out. It was small, and pretty slow so it should have been much easier to catch that this brazilian one, but the dog decided to run parallel to the airport building, crossing under all the parked planes,. The guys chasing it would get to almost in range of grabbing it, then they would have to duck and go under the parked planes, and that would happen over and over again. It was really funny, lasted until the dog just gave up. Everyone watching couldn't stop laughing.

This was the case in the 1980s in the UK, then dobermans and Rottweilers in the 90s, then staffies for the past 10 years or so. My dad says in the 60 and 70s it was bulldogs. These things wax and wane depending on what the fuckwit population thinks makes them look hard as they drag it round on a chain, and the media is always fairly quick to condemn specific breeds as "demon dogs".
