Another Day..another Pit Bull Attack..

[Curval]

Pitbulls are not a pure-bred.  They were bred SPECIFICALLY to fight.

There is no need to keep breeding them as this practice is now illegal.

I do not advocate a nazi style extermination of all existing pitbulls.  I do advocate that they should no longer be bred.

Yeah and 99.9% of Pit owners today have no papers from the ADBA, nor could they trace their dog's bloodline back to original fighting stock. If you buy a Pit or any other dog for that matter without checking the lineage you're just a door knob.

Just because it has the appearance of a Pit doesn't mean it's a purebred. If you look at the purebred Pits from the 50's and 60's they look nothing like the so called scatter bred Pits of today.

I had a purebred Colby dog.

I myself have owned 3 male Dobermans.  One when I only had a lab and now 2 of them together.  I've only witnessed a few aggressive tendencies by any of my dogs.  

The most frequent being my male dobe keeping my yellow lab off the porch anytime he was eating.  Nothing more than a growl and a nip on the butt was what he'd do.  Even when this was happening I could place my hands in his bowl and take his food away with no problems or aggressive behaviour.  He only did it to the lab when he was eating and she'd try to come up on the porch.

That same male dobe had one other instance where he growled at a African-American male that came over to the house to look at puppies.  I've had many African-American friends come over in the past and never once did he react this way.  

My current two dobermans have only showed the typical dominance thing between themselves.  They tried when they were young to be dominant over myself and my wife but it was quickly fixed.  

I had one instance where my Red Doberman got out of the yard and didn't come back for about a week.  In the end it was found he was attacked by atleast one wolf and maybe even more.  He obviously survived and did what must have been necessary to do so.  But I have yet to witness any aggressive behaviour after the incident.  He was initially very touchy when I had to tend to his wounds.  

I do think for the most part it is the owners and not the animal.  That doesn't mean though that some animals can and will be aggressive over their lifetime.  It also doesn't mean that a breed may have issues that can also make them suseptable to wigging out.
