Thread: Neighbor's Pit Bulls

That's because of the culture that had grown up around having powerful dogs and making them dangerous. Pit bulls used to be called nanny dogs in the earlier 1900s, because they are actually very driven to please people and good with children.

They are the number one in REPORTED attacks for a couple of reasons. 1. There are absolutely tons of them and they're incredibly common. 2. People will report even a defensive snap from a pitbull, where with other dogs the same incident will go unreported.

Little dogs are VERY frequently much more aggressive and likely to bite. Because people don't see them as dangerous because they're small. A pitbull, or my favorite dog ever, a rottweiler, could never in a million years be able to get away with being as aggressive and dangerous as say a pomeranian or a chihuahua or min pin is allowed to be. A big dog that behaved that way would be put down. Period.

It's almost never the dogs. Regardless of breed. It's essentially the owner 100 percent of the time.

If it wasn't pits, those same jack holes would move on to another large breed and do the same with them. Pressa canarios perhaps?

That's like saying that most people are shot with 9mm bullets so nobody should be allowed 9mm ammo. There are always other calibers.
