Genrally I would agree with you. However, the Pit Bull was bred specifically for dog fighting. I have met some very sweet natured ones. Would never allow them around other dogs or children. Again, people are the casure of this. The man who started to breed them in the first place. Dogs like these are bred to be dangerous. A great shame. Countless times I have read or heard about dogs like these (and other similiar breeds) that are said to be so sweet...until they turn and maim someone or kill another dog. It is not always the fault of the owner. Many of these dogs ahve been treated well, trained well etc but still they turn. they do so because it is in their makeup to do so.
I once sold an Apso to a couple who owneed a delightfully good tempered rooty. My puppy was killed wihin 3 weeks by it. NEVER do is sell to people with Staffs, Pits, Rotts, Dobes, GSD's, Bulls, ...the list is quite long. Having said all that, most dog problems are the fault of the owner. i don't sell to all day workers, to people with young children(toddlers and babies), to people who are too soppy who won't discipline etc Some breeds however however have been developed to 'compliment' a man's ego and these, no matter how sweet some are, are dangerous. mack watson-bush wrote: > Let's just remember that it is not the breed of dog but the owner.
