My friend got a pit bull thinking he would spoil it rotten and show people that it is all about how the dog is raised. He succeeded for the most part and raised a playful happy dog. However it seems as though there are traits that are bred into the dog that will always be there there. Just like how my border collie will naturally try to herd everything and nip at heals without any training. This dog does not like to be messed with by strangers when he is sleeping on the floor. Now, most dogs don’t. However, this dog goes a step farther when it snaps. This dog will draw blood and does not hold back when it snaps. I learned the hard way and it bit my lip open when I tried to move him from the couch. His dog also is very nice to other animals. However, when it does snap, it has killed a cat that it used to get along with. My friend is aware of all these traits and has learned to keep his dog under control at all times. It has since never bit anyone or killed anything. On the other hand, I have a dog that herds children and passes gas as she runs up the steps.
I’m not scared of his dog. I just don't trust it around my cats.
I just thought I would share my experience and opinion.
