FACT: different dogs breeds have different characteristics. Everybody knows that. You don't even have to be a dog person to be aware that all breeds have specific traits.
So why is it so hard to believe that pitbulls and their hybrids would be aggressive dogs?
If it was just the owner and training and not the dog, where are all the cocker spaniel and poodle attacks?
I miss Pixie and Mikey.When this topic comes up someone invariably digs up an old article about a baby attacked by a Yorkie. "See?? Pitbulls are no more dangerous than Yorkies!!" I mentally slap those people in the head.
As you said, the data is there. The facts are the facts.
More dangerous, yes, because they are the more powerful animal. As with all animals, all dogs have a point at which they can become aggressive and inflict damage. The bigger and stronger ones cause the most damage and therefor garner the most headlines."...Pitbulls are no more dangerous than Yorkies!!"
Some tough talkers in here.
The same group of people that laugh at the Brady Center's stats on gun violence use their equivalent for dog bite stats as their argument.
Nothing tough about it, any dog that's around me that gets stupid / aggressive and I feel danger is eminent for others or myself.. Pop...Pop....
Problem solved...
No it's not.As you said, the data is there.

Suppose you can't find the owner? I had 2 pit bulls come up at night and attack my shepard mix laying on my deck. It was a helpless feeling seeing them trying to get your dog down. He was huge and fighting them. One was attacking and the other one was stalking in circles. It was a miracle 2 of them couldn't pull him down. The other miracle was somehow when I kept screaming his name and he managed to break loose enough to get to the door and I could grab his head and drag him in, terrified they were going to come after me. One hand grabbing my dog and the other hand holding an axe. I never saw them before and I never saw them again. My poor dog was so tore up and it took him weeks to heal. He wouldn't even go out to do his business unless I was with him. I guess they were the minority of the breed but I'll NEVER trust one around again.
attack you I will!I wonder how many were attacked by rogue Schnauzers.
The ratio of car accidents to drivers in St. Mary's is far greater than pit bull attacks to number of that breed. Should we ban all driving in our county?This is just a BS statement. While it's true in some cases, it's not true in all. I know from personal experience.
Well, since I used to live there, I'm gonna' go with "yes".The ratio of car accidents to drivers in St. Mary's is far greater than pit bull attacks to number of that breed. Should we ban all driving in our county?
