not even that powerful of a bite[/quote]

Since that a chart of dogs with powerful bites, actually yeah -- it's pretty powerful (though, uh, who even knows if that chart is accurate, that's not a particularly great source). A PP was comparing pits to golden retrievers, not Dobermans. You'll notice golden retrievers aren't on that chart.

Are you okay with people "discriminating" against Rottweilers and Dobermans because the breeding and physicality of those breeds makes them more dangerous? Well that's why people discriminate against pits. It's the same issues, different degree. People also discriminate against dogs based on size all the time, because larger dogs are de facto more dangerous if they do attack (which is a risk with any dog -- even the most docile dogs can be provoked into attack under certain circumstances). So people will often choose to get smaller dogs if they have kids, if they live in a more populous area, etc. It's perfectly reasonable.

Dogs are animals and it's just smart to exercise common sense about them. Getting defensive because some people are not comfortable with pits in certain setting is just pointless. You should know going in that if you get a pit, some people will be wary and not want to be around them. This is the same with other dog breeds. If you want a dog who will be welcomed by more people, get a smaller dog in a breed that is more universally liked. I don't see what the problem is here.[/quote]
