Are pitbulls the most dangerous breed?

[Competitor 9]

Got into a pretty heated augment with a die hard pitbull owner, I said there naturly aggressive as they where breed to attack the faces and necks of bears and bulls.

She stated that it's the owners that make them mean.

My response was that pitbulls are not the only dog with bad owners, if that was the case pitbulls wouldn't lead the fatally rate by 75%

She then said well it used by fighters that's why.

I said well why do you think there used for fighting? Is it because of there temperament? There is a reason why they are the number one fighting dog.

Yet she refused to even admit that yes they are more aggressive by nature

Pics of this whore? Also, pussy shots if you have them. Thanks!

It depends on how they are raised, but it's a breed almost exclusively owned by the lower class. In the end, they were bred for fighting, it's one of their breeds traits. Just like pugs are lovable and family friendly. Certain dogs were bred for certain purposes.

And of course, when they snap (not if), it will be way worse regardless of how well mannered they are otherwise. Denmark and some other countries made a solid decision by banning this breed along with other dangerous dog breeds.

Why did you let this vehement slut speak out of turn and/or have an opinion?

An even more pressing issue is; did he or did he not mount the wench?

this is a touchy subject.  i have a lot of dog owner friends who would say you're an asshole.  luckily for you i'm not convinced.

seriously, i think it's a mix of both.  it really does depend on the individual dog for a variety of reasons.  one of the dangers of the breed is simply that a pissed off pit can a do a whole lot more damage than a pissed off yorkie.  it doesn't help when everyone who's ever worn a do-rag wants/owns a pit.

i personally don't trust them overall but i know pits that i trust as i would any other dog based on their individual traits.

Hopefully you apply the same type of logical thinking towards humans.

Been around pits my whole life and never seen one flip out and attack someone out of nowhere. Pit bulls are a very popular breed with all kinds of idiots including white trash ghetto trash idiots who just want them to be part of a "oppressed" groups lots of back yard breeding/inbreeding. If you do your homework and get one from a good breeder you shouldn't have an issue.

They were bread to be aggressive to other dogs and animals not human aggressive. Old time breeders didn't want a human aggressive dog. If you're breaking them up in the pit or training them human aggression is not an ideal characteristic. Personally I would be more worried about Rottweilers German Shepard and Dobermans they were bred to be aggressive to humans.

They're more dangerous because they are a strong breed...they are no more likely to bite than any other breed.
It is said that Pitbulls are chosen for fighting because they are extremely loyal and only want to please their owners.
It's a shame that so many meat heads choose the breed to feed their egos.
Any powerful dog should have experienced owners...

They may initially might not have been aggressive. But if the humans provides a certain type of environment, is entirely plausible that pitbulls have developed a specific trait that is now being passed down to their offspring. I do not understand why pitbull owners get mad when people say this. Its basic common sense. Parents pass traits to their offspring. If pitbulls are being breeded for violence, then these traits may get passed down to their offspring more than, say, a yorkie. It doesn't mean its the pitbulls faults. It's entirely the humans fault. Hopefully you get enough kind owners to breed this trait out of them. On the other hand, a pitbull can have an aggressive trait, but if provided love from the right environment, that trait may never become manifested (similar in humans).

You must really hate "urban youths".
PS: pitbulls were NEVER bred to be human aggressive.

I don't understand what you mean.

They may never have been bred to be aggressive toward humans, but they still possess an overall aggressive trait (if passed down to their offspring). I don't think the aggressive trait would literally distinguish between humans and other animals.

Most dangerous breed would have to be those Russian bear-dogs, I don't remember the breed name. Those things are insane! I'll try and find a video of these things, they go batshit crazy as soon as they see someone walk by them.

Edit: I think they're called Caucasian ovcharka

I read a story of a guy breeding a Hyena with a pitbull.  That would be nuts.  The guy above. Are you talking about a Mastiff?

[flex933]

I thought akitas were also pretty aggressive dogs

Trying to debate with a diehard pit bull enthusiast is like trying to talk to a brick wall are worse yet a scorned woman. They become instantly offended and take it as a personal attack and logic goes right out the window.

Had like 5-6 family dogs that were Pitts. They were the funniest most athletic kindest gentlest. They followed my mom around and looked out for her. Great with kids. The perfect dog. That's why owners get offended.

Grown men scared of a dog

How did you read about that since its an impossibility due to the Hyena not even being in the same species at all.

You must have made it up.

I like dogs that are not too big and run along stupidly like they have no clue about anything what so ever
