He also goes on saying that these dogs should be euthanize if citizens do not remove the dogs from state. Theres a huge petition going on right now about it. As a Pit owner myself I find this laughable. ALL DOGS could be dangerousat one point and time. I wont deny that pitbulls where breed for hundreds of years for the purpose of dog fighting, But not all owners of this breed do fight them. A pit still has the urge at times to fight but only because of there breeding, not always because of there temperament. I wish these Big wigs would read and learn more about something before trying to destroy it.
No. It's not. Cut the crap. A pitbull doesn't need to be brought up to kill in order to snap. I agree with Pit actually that pretty much the Animal just needs to be provoked.
I, personally, think that perhaps some animals are more subject to going off then others. But your point that "A Pitbull is only aggressive if he's raised to be that way" is false.
I agree with Blax, I have a Staffordshire bull terrier cross greyhound, and we've raised him perfectly to accept other dogs and humans. He adores the other dog that lives with us and humans, but any other dogs; he seems to feel immediately that they deserve a battering. He literally kicks the shit out of any other dog who's knocking about, apart from our other dog. It's resulted in him having to wear a muzzle.
It is really annoying, as he's such a lovely dog and he really hates to have to wear a muzzle.

That's an odd mix... post a picture, I'm curious to see what that looks like.

Yeah, I'll post a pic soon, this is a new PC so aint got much on here.He actually looks quite a bit like a shorter pit bull, that can run bloody fast.
It's an odd mix because the dogs are on such opposite ends of the spectrum, one is short, stocky and flat-faced, while the other is tall, slim and long-faced. I can't imagine it.

Yeah it is rather strange, he's sort of got a large head and neck, with the staffy ears and a grey hound snout. But his body is rather long with extremely muscly legs. His stance is sort of the staffy stance as well, like front legs wide apart.
Originally posted by chillmeistergenIt is still how you raised him, the other dog and the "humans" are part of his pack so he will accept them because of that. If you do not socialize the dog at a young age it is much harder to do it later in life but still can be done with the proper training.

He's been through proper training, through specialist dog training. We followed every training tip on offer when raising him, yet still he will attack other dogs, at times.
It's in his blood, he's a bull terrier. Of course there are a lot that can be trained out of it, but there are individual differences between dogs, like every other animal.
Originally posted by chillmeistergenIt is not “in his blood”; it is just like a child each child learns differently. I have known many “dog trainers” in my time and even one is my best friend but you don’t have to have really any training at all to be a dog trainer. I have not seen a dog yet that couldn’t be trained, most people just give up and say like you do that “it is in his blood” and that is total BS. The only time is when the dog is so far gone by abuse and neglect that they are mentally damage beyond repair. I have seen some messed up dogs come back with the proper training and are now perfect behaved pets.
