No the American pitbull terrier is not a dangerous breed at all. They actually score higher tha labs in the dog temperment test. Loyal to the Extreme! Their whole goal in life is to please you.
I don't know about you but I am SO TIRED of hearing about pitbull attacks. The association press has no clue what they are even talking about. When they say pitbull attack it isn't even a real pitbull. most of the time it's a mix. they have no idea that a purebred pitbull hasn't attacked in the United States In more than 34 YEARS!
It really damages the breed in the public eye when the say pitbull attack and it's not.
You see, the pitbull by itself is a spectacular breed. But when you take a dog that has already been bred for fighting, then mix it with a high energy dog ( such as a boxer)
you don't get a good combo.
Also when people say that Its all how they are raised ( while that does play a big part) does not mean much. No matter what breed you have, if you breed a crappy tempered dog with another crappy tempered dog , no matter how you raise them you're going to get a crappy temperd dog.
So when you do your research. go to dogbreedinfo.com and look up pitbull in the seach bar. Its a great site and it really helps change the opinion in the public eye.
Pitbulls that have ignorant handlers.
pit bulls are dangerous but are not the most dangerous dogs in the world
Any dog is dangerous if not properly socialized, if well looked after they will be loving and caring members of your family.
Dangerous? No way. Or, if so, no more dangerous than any other dogs. They're amazing doggies. :)
I have two pitbulls at the moment one make who is 4 and a female that is one. Just like all dog breeds depending on how they are raised they can be dangerous. Get yourself a puppy and start from scratch and you will not have anything to worry about :)
Any other breed is more dangerous than a pitbull to human beings. Pitbulls become dangerous to humans in rare ocations because the pitbull breed is not agresive toward humans.
Yes, but as long as they are trained like a normal dog then they end up steady and are great pets.
There is a large misconception that all Pitbulls are evil and dangerous, especially to children. The truth is that animals were all originally wild animals at some point - they weren't created domestic in the beginning of time. Therefore, all animals and all dog breeds have wild roots and wild instincts below their domesticated learnings. Any breed of dog or any animal can be dangerous. The truth is, there are many Pitbulls that are not as dangerous as others and it has a lot to do with the environment the dog was raised in, its treatment from its owner, and so forth. Since Pitbulls are commonly used in dogfights, this creates an animal that is psychologically damaged and can and will be a dangerous animal even when not fighting. This is why people seem to hate Pitbulls so much over other breeds of dogs.
Nort Carolina as far as I know, has no ban on pitbulls but they have a law for dangerous dogs. Some politicians were making laws to ban pitbulls so you need to look out for the news pertaing a ban.
What makes American pit bulls so dangerous is the strength of the dog. It is a very aggressive dog (mainly due to the upbringing and owner) , and it tends to bite a lot.
No people do not eat pitbulls if there is any eating involved it is pitbulls eating people.
Yes. Mostly the dogs people wanted to be banned are Pitbulls because of their bad and dangerous behavior
