its a good thing genetics works like there being a single gene for fighting dogs and another single gene for fighting people and that way there is no overlap between the concepts. according to you who is clearly not retarded
Perhaps it's not the dogs genetics that are to blame if a house pet bests you in combat

The pitbulls body has a way of shutting down attack’s on humans instead of other dogs.

lovely owners make lovely dogs.

While we're at it, doesn't it seem like pit bulls/bull terries are like the black people of the dog world? Just in the way that information is dealt out and our cultural regurgitation of them.

Like most apartment complexes restrict pitbulls specifically but give no shits about Cane Corsos, German Shepards or even Rottweilers. I think people fear the name than the dogs themselves. In my anecdotal experience the people who fear them the most don't even know what they look like.

If you were to show a person who isn't familiar with dogs a picture if a Cane Corso, they will more than likely assume it's a pitbull just because it looks mean. But nope, its 100% Mastiff and one of the best guard dog breeds money can by. Unlike pitbull Cane Corals are breed to gently caress people up and waaaay stronger than pits.

gently caress it, I say either ban all dogs or make dog trained necessary for all dog owner. Cause gently caress those people who let their tiny foo-foo dog growl and bite people just cause they're little.

My 110 pound sister has two Cane Corsos because she's retarded. Anytime my daughter hangs out with her Aunt I'm incredibly nervous about those loving things.

I've seen one go mental before, and it's way worse than any pitbull could ever dream of being.

today i learned that complex behaviors are only ever influenced by a single gene and thats why there is no gradient of behavior between various dog breeds measurable on multiple axes and also that pitbulls are known not to be dangerous to humans because they were bred to be dangerous to other dogs. any statistics that show otherwise must be wrong

its very weird because we knew as far back as half a century ago from the silver tail fox experiment that dozens and even hundreds of genes cumulatively influence behavior. but ill take a post on gbs over decades of scientific rigor any day

Here's something else you should learn: plenty of good dogs were bred to be aggressive and territorial, often against animals far more dangerous than other canines.

Flinching repeatedly over dangerous breeds online is real dumb

And shameful.

Staffordshire Terriers are Nanny Dogs. :3:
Never had any trouble with mine and she was a service dog. Still had some trouble getting accepted into an apartment with her, though. She wasn't "working" anymore and I couldn't use that as leverage. Bought a house instead.

That's my pitbull story.

Cane Corsos, are the only dog breed I legitimately fear. They're low key trained to kill and the best guard dog breed money can buy. Like a low average price would be around $3,000. So pretty much the value of a used car give or take.. mostly give.

Why are people discriminating against me for owning this Nile crocodile? I have a spirit-bond with it and so can take it to the park leashless. What do you mean I shouldn't let it crouch in the kiddie pool with its slitted eyes narrowed and its jaws slightly agape as it gathers its power to surge forward and repeatedly drag the children into the water in an explosion of spray and screams? You're just a BREED RACIST! It's not the prehistoric reptile's instinct to kill and eat IT'S THE OWNER.

A blue-tongued skink is every bit as likely to do what my Nile crocodile did to all those children, after all, it is also a LIZARD. GOD.

It's too bad that most pits aren't purebred Staffordshire Terriers then. The thing about pits is that they aren't any more likely to attack a human than any other dog, but when they do attack they gently caress you up.

No, don't own crocodiles as pets. There are plenty of non-man-eating lizards out there that will do just fine.

I'll take this opportunity to post Jonathon Spectre's Rule of Pets again: If an animal could effortlessly kill you, don't have it as a pet.

Pit bull? Bad.
Chicken? Good.
King cobra? Bad.
Guinea pig? Good.

Follow this rule and you'll never be in the newspaper saying, "But it was always so sweet before it ate (insert the person/people it ate)."

I dunno, if that chicken killed a man, that would probably make it to the paper. Ive seen some pretty jacked chickens. Specially when they do PCP.

Seriously, why would you choose a pit bull over any other breed? The answer is that you (not so?) secretly want a dog that is good at murder right? But you're just banking in it never murdering you, the owner?
