The were trained to hunt originally like most dogs. Obviously you can breed in specific traits like aggression and unfortunately people have done that over the years so they could have the dogs perform in fights.

Oh and I am in NO WAY a filthy hippy

 

dont ***** about training and breeding and all that crap, theres a wolf in my house. hes the ***** of the 7pound pallion. try looking up statistics on Lab attacks, or jack russel attacks. Its gona be hard to find cause aside from rabid individuals there are no attacks.

saying pit bulls arent dangers is like sayng Arabs dont like to wear sheets and blow **** up. ignorant

 

It's all about training. What are you talking about?? The dog only knows what it has been taught. If the owner taught it to fight, its going to fight and be very aggressive. Oh and you know that studies are NEVER 100% correct as there are many variables such as location of where the study took place and if the attack was recorded or not.

 

that sure explains all the "family" pitbulls that attack people

you should get a job with big tobacco

 

I think it's both the breed and the training.

I blame latin america.

You're just like the rest of the population though. People feed on negative stereotypes and are only aware of what they've been conditioned to know. People never hear the good, but always the bad for some reason and always remember just the bad.

As for big tobacco...I have nothing against them. It's that person's right to smoke and I'll leave it at that. If you'd like to persue that subject please make a thread in the politcal forum and PM me the link
besides...big tobacco like Malboro sponsors my favorite F1 team and I support them

 

Pit bull attacks are George Bush's fault.

 

you know what they say about sterotypes, they are generally true






it was merely a comment about your ignorant disregard for statistical data

 

hatteroo - are you a dog owner? we've currently got 2 labs and a jack russell. i've always had dogs growing up as a kid too. yes, training is key to having a good behaving dog, but they also do have their own natural traits. not to say all pit-bulls are mean, but they're not all angels either.

you made the comment earlier about "big dumb lab", why did you make that? because of the stereotype? yeah, it happens to be true and like most stereotypes, it exists for a reason. but with training, my "big dumb labs" don't really act so dumb.

my brother used to have a pit, she was a very very well behaved dog. she did require constant training though to get her there and keep her there. i'm sure, were she chained up and generally mistreated, her roots would have shown through and she probably would have been aggressive.

 

Global warming is also his fault apparently too

I don't disregard it entirely. I just believe they are never 100% correct as they rely on info that is presented to them and what info is available at the time of the study.

Yes I am a dog owner and have raised a couple myself. Just about all domestic animals will retain any non-domestic traits with them regardless of what it is. And yes you did catch my in my hypocracy lol. I admit that I just did what I was trying to argue against. I have met a handful of labs that were a bit dumb, but not overall bad dogs, just needed some more training than others like any other dog.
