[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I spent some years fostering pregnant dogs and care for their puppies, and train them up for adoption.

All the puppies turned out to be pit mixes with non-pit mothers, except one litter that looked all lab.

Every puppy was trainable, affectionate and docile once taught boundaries.

The beagles mixes were by far the LOUDEST :-)

If you train a pit well they're not going to be more or less dangerous than any other breed.

That’s the problem. So many pits are not well trained. They’re not the products partnerships between ethical breeders and responsible, knowledgeable, disciplined owners. [/quote]

So many people who own dogs these days have the exact same behavioral/training/ignorance issues, but think it's fine because "it's not a pit bull".

A yippy little kneebiters is going to cause problems one day, and a bigger dog is going to get blamed for reacting appropriately in dog because some ignorant owner didn't bother to properly train or handle their "not a pit bull". This problem is multi-faceted, and anyone smart about dogs already knows that.

Gone are the days of "partnerships between ethical breeders and responsible, knowledgeable, disciplined owners", PP. Sad, but true. Just look at all the neurotic fast-cash-grab "-doodles" there are.[/quote]

Unlike pitts and pit mixes, doodles and ankle biters aren't known for mauling or killing children and old people, so...

As predicted... here comes the baseless anti-pit rhetoric that has been thoroughly debunked on multiple threads already, but we need to have this same conversation every month or so. Someone will cite clickbait news as facts, misinterpret and/or misrepresent stats, make ridiculous claims about how golden retrievers never bite, argue that it's totally fine for some dog owners to have ill-bred, ill-raised, poorly controlled animals because chihuahuas/yorkies/miniwhatevers can't kill, as if all dog owners shouldn't be expected to be fully responsible for their dog, of any breed, at all times (which is already the law in most places)...

If you want to reduce the frequency of dog bite incidents, breed legislation and paranoia aren't the way to do it or they'd have worked already; these things aren't new. Log off DCUM and go lobby for better registration and licensing policies for all dog owners, including full liability insurance and a fine structure that funds improved enforcement of the better policies and also better education for owners/would-be owners. Demand that anyone breeding any kind of dog obtain a special license class to do so and require them to show some sort of responsibility for the animals they're creating. Nothing changes if nothing changes.

These threads never go anywhere worth going, which is the point. Shitposters gonna shitpost, and this one stunk from the start. It's so tiresome. Truly. Just go read the eleventy-seven threads we've already been through. Nothing about this is new, or smart, or beneficial to either side. [/quote]
