I have a pit bull. Fostered another one she nearly killed my sweet boy pit twice. Had to break up pit fights. lost my the tip of my finger
NonConformistFlamingo
I've been in dog care work for 10 years. Only dogs I've ever been bitten by were Chihuahuas and Dachsunds. I love my pitty puppers.
javaguy24
I love all dogs but if I could pick what type of dog I would get attacked by it would not be a pit bull
ilovedogknots
Upvote whore
TheAnswerToLifeTheUniverseAndEverythingIsCheese
I love pit bulls but don’t ask me to double tap that means a down vote....
ViralLola
My ex’s pit bull would let me put baby onesies on her as a pupper. Now she wears costumes. She won’t go on walks unless she wears something
IBentMyWookie
THEYRE ALL GOOD DOGS, BRONT!
beentheredonestuff
Eh. I love them but they are an aggressive breed to other dogs. They were bread for dog fighting. Good with people bad with other dogs.
Lycion
The dead "human" victims would down vote you. Dont let them read this.
Burdenhand
My red nose was the goodest girl there ever was.
Taz72
We had a red nose for 16 years, she changed my fear of the breed! She was the best dog I ever met. Truely a wonderful addition to our family

"Double tap if you agree". Fuck off, Facebook is that way.
Isendduckpics
Although I agree, this isn't facebook. Stop like hunting.

I have 2 very derpy blue nose pits. Best dogs I've ever owned! My cat is more aggressive than the dogs.

SAAVIK
At the turn of the 1900 they were called babysitting dogs. Parents went to work and left the kids with the pits.
EverydayIdleness
I mean, humans literally created the breed, so if humans made them bad, i guess they're bad.
turborat
Was about to upvote, but then I was asked to do it
Slytherwin
They can be good dogs, but not for beginner owners. They're terriers and need lots of training and socialization

That’s my opinion, too. Like German shepherds or mastiffs, great dogs that need experience & firmness to be happy and safe.

RustyMcKraken
You need to double tap the bad owners who give pibbles bad names, not the doggos. BUT...OP did mean to double tap for the upvote though.
lunncal
Of course any living Pitbulls deserve to be treated fairly, and well. The real question is whether they should continue to be bred and sold-
lunncal
-, and looking at the data of dog attacks, I would say maybe they shouldn't. The statistics seem to show that they are far more dangerous -
lunncal
-than other breeds of dog. Continuing a breed like that seems unfair to both the injured people and the dogs themselves, who get put down.
Cypheri
The thing is, there are multiple bloodlines of pits. Some bloodlines are full of mild-mannered, loving dogs. Only buy well-bred dogs if >>
Cypheri
you aren't adopting. I think breeding for ALL breeds should be controlled so only responsible breeders can continue to produce pups.
squeakyleeks
I don’t think any dogs should be bought and sold.
OwwMyButt
Selling them helps ensure they go to a good home and probably won’t be used as bait or a fighter. It shows commitment.
squeakyleeks
Ah ok but let’s talk about the big picture. There’s so many pitties in shelters that need a forever home- why breed more?
OwwMyButt
That’s a whole new point entirely. For the most part, organizations try to keep dogs fixed rather than breeding though.
squeakyleeks
I don’t think it is a different issue. Why breed more when there are so many in shelters? Or running the streets?
squeakyleeks
Sorry- I realized I just repeated my point but I really don’t see how our points are different. Can you explain?
RooplePooples
I agree, but keep the Facebook bullshit out of it

"Double tap if you agree"

Unpopular fact#2. Nearly 50% of pit bull attacks come from suburban pits with no history of abuse or neglect.
CNNBRFIINF
Since it’s a fact, please cite reference.
feryooday
I'd like a credible scientific source. Anyone can say "fact" and get attention. Prove it?
OhNoBannedAgain
Actual fact: nearly 50% of "pitbull" attacks are not in fact pitbulls.
shadowbanned8
That's up for debate. Staffies are the same family and share many traits.
NotAPervert
Can you cite a credible &/or academic source for us to share as we inform people?
kp41
Is that inconsistent with abused/non-abused attacks from other breeds?
Cypheri
Only dog that's ever attacked me was a german shepherd who went batshit crazy for no reason after we had him for almost four years.
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
Pits can be good dogs, but acting like there isn't such a thing as breed traits is kinda foolish.
dottedglass
Some science to support what you're saying, kinda : https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/08/160810180908.htm
dottedglass
Pitts HAVE been bred to have aggression toward unfamiliar beings. It's a genetic thing. Ignoring that makes it so people ignore the
dottedglass
very obvious solution of going to reputable breeders who breed good traits into their pitts.
Cypheri
This. I keep game chickens, a breed known for fighting. I breed selectively for the most mild-mannered birds and have NO fights in the yard.
Cypheri
Similar concept applies with any species of animal. Personality is not entirely learned. There is definitely a genetic component to it.
dottedglass
This pisses me off so much. There are ways to defend pitts without feeding people BS arguments that ignore reality.
LtColonelSmythe
1. A lot of Pittys were purchased as status symbols by the gangster culture. Not given much training or used for fighting, they have gotten

this nasty reputation too, until they moved on to the next new breed
SerenePrincess013
Chow-chow was on that list, briefly. Malanois are still on that list.
rainyrivers
The greatest risk with our pibble mix is getting peed on. She gets excited and tinkles
lostintransmutation
My father-in-laws pitty wags his tail so hard it could bruise you. Things a damn unit of affection.
Excedrine
Our Pittie has a tail that we swear threatens to cleave skin from bone. It's a damn WHIP I tell ya'!
zsefvgb
Mine is the headbutt with his bone wanting to play. Or his tailwhip
rainyrivers
Lol. Her tail is intense but the tinkle is more consistent because we have a toddler she very aware of being at tail height
DeanOMiite
At risk of downvotes, the issue with pits isn't that they attack frequently, it's that when they DO attack it's devastating
[deleted]

spetcnaz
That's just technicality. Pit bull or pit bull type is what they are marked
spetcnaz
But they do attack more than others
ferrybig
It also is an high energy dog bread. If they do not get the exercise they require they get frustration, which makes them more volatile
blank00009
True of most things. Seen my neighbor punch a horse before. That thing will probably kick em to death one day. The issue is bad trainers.
ComradeJenkens
That's asking for death. A horse will lash out far easier than any dog, and they can kill you in a split second.
blank00009
Exactly. Good kick and you are going to the hospital. Really good kick and you are going to the morgue. Unsurprisingly their pitbull is mean
HitlersEvilTwin
I mean, have you really lived if you haven’t punched a horse?
Meloncov
That's true for any large dog. Pits might be a bit more dangerous than other dogs their weight, but not more than a husky or German Shepard.
feryooday
Right, my Great Dane could kill me in one bite. He won't, he loves me, loves people, and is well-trained. But he COULD.
spetcnaz
Numbers say otherwise
MoonMoonCakes
I love pibbles, but you’re right. As a lazy girl who doesn’t exercise, you would want to fight me vs. the Rock any day.
MoonMoonCakes
Unless it’s sexy fighting, then you would want me.
goosebusters
That's a cocky statement!
MrPhreak
Are you saying you wouldn't want to sexy fight the Rock?
MoonMoonCakes
Oh no, if I had a chance, I’d sexy fight him covered in oil!
goosebusters
I always get downvoted for pointing it out. A cocker spaniel mauling is a lot more pleasant than a pitbull mauling
ahzelton
I've seen a dog victim of a CS mauling and it wasn't pleasant at all. Dog almost died. CS actually have a gene they try to breed out.
goosebusters
No they don't have a gene tgey tried to breed out. They were an established breed before we knew about genes. There are no specific genes
goosebusters
We know about that are linked to specific behaviour. CS were bred as sporting dogs. They were good at the task they were bred for but also
goosebusters
Made good house pets. Over time, we got two distinct breeds. The Springer spaniel, which is an excellent game flusher and retriever for duck
ahzelton
It's called the rage gene and it's absolutely something credible breeders have been trying to breed out.
goosebusters
You mean the uncertain cause of aggression... That's been linked to a good chunk of breeds? Found in pit bulls, GSD, GR, rotties... Etc etc.
MySpiritAnimalIsTheUnpopularOpinionPuffin
If a dog is bred for a purpose, that is what it will do by instinct. The aggressive list of dogs are bred to be aggressive. A dog can be

nice until it feels it doesn't need to be.
pandasmakemehappy
And yet science has shown year after year that this isn't an aggressive breed. Go figure.
OwwMyButt
No the fuck it hasn’t
MySpiritAnimalIsTheUnpopularOpinionPuffin
Lmao. You need to educate yourself again on pitbull and bull terrier breeds. Pitbulls themselves were developed by crossbreeding for the

purpose of bull baiting. Hunting large game. Later used as *drum roll please* blood sports a.k.a. dog fighting. It's what they were bred for

imptastick
I think one reason they get so much attention is their ability to do a lot of damage quickly (powerful bite) which makes a pit attack worse.
Jillymaree76
Pits tend to just go straight for the kill. No growing. No baring teeth. They're not trying to settle dominance. They're trying to kill.. 1/
Jillymaree76
I've had it happen twice. Off leash pit runs up to us and immediately lunges for the throat. Selective breeding is a real thing.
LostandFoundIMGUR
Also the fact that they have been bred to be ultra aggressive when in a fight
McFluffySundae
Agreed. They are large and strong and determined so when they do something its very easy to go too far. Where as a small dog (which are1/2
McFluffySundae
more likely to be aggressive but nobody takes seriously) can't do very much and so everyone is just like "aww look at the angry little guy!"
FsImgur
They're quite strong and muscular for their size, and they're very assertive. If they want to kiss you, dammit you're gonna get kisses!
Dravit
They also give little or no warning of an attack either.
CriticalJudgementalElitistPrick
And they don't stop. Sure any dog can bite and will when threatened. These fuckers just kill and maim but of course entitled people....
Threadnomancer
This is my big arguement. My cousin got attacked by one when she was little, bit her face. My uncle had to break its jaw to get it off

Watch as the pitbull mama crew downvoted you, me, and any one else that sees a clear writing on the wall
CriticalJudgementalElitistPrick
Right. Again that entitlement. I don't understand the fascination with these dangeous animals.
JoeCarpentier
Careful with that clear writing rhetoric. Sounds like something you'd hear before a genocide if applied to people.

Misfire5150
They do not have "locking jaws". Its a myth. They have no physiological differences in jaw structure from other breeds.
cir4555
It’s not an actual “lock jaw”. It’s that they don’t let go. It’s why I use them for hunting. They will not let go of a hog once caught.
Misfire5150
Yes they are a tenacious breed and dont let go. Own pits myself. Just talking about that ridiculous myth.

While a well trained pit will be a good boy like other breeds, a badly trained one is more likely to cause problems than many other breeds
AlmightyThor117
bite force is less than many other breeds including German Shepards and Rottweiler’s took the top spot, but I think Pit Bull breeds tend to

be strong willed and highly determined, meaning if they decide to do harm, they are hard to stop. This determination coupled with high pain

tolerance results in a dog that’s extremely difficult to stop. However they have been proven to be difficult to trigger, scoring second

Place in the AKC temperament scale being beaten by labradors by only a few points in their overall ability to tolerate aggression triggering

Our gsd/rott/staffie rescue had quite the bite and would hold on tight. Once we trained the agression out (mostly over food) she was fine.
