[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dog doesn't look anything like a pittie. He doesn't act like the stereotypical (by the people like the idiot above who thinks their jaws lock) pit bull.

But I had him tested, and he's more pittie than anything else.

I do think shelters are right to require that adopted dogs be spayed/neutered, because there are just too many dogs. But I also think we should stop breeding anything brachycephalic breeds, because they have too many health problems. I get that we all love our dogs, but we shouldn't be sentencing dogs to potentially miserable lives because of our sentimental attachment to certain breeds[/quote]

I'm the PP that you think is an idiot.  Try actually reading my post.  I didn't say that their jaws lock.  I said the dogs bite and lock on.  As in, they instinctively hang on to their "prey".  These dogs don't just bite and let go.[/quote]

Maybe don't use the word "lock," then[/quote]

Oh, good grief.
Maybe just admit that the overwhelming evidence is that these dogs are responsible for an outsized number of deadly dog attacks.
I understand that a lot has to do with how the dogs are raised.  Any dog has the capacity to be dangerous.  I also know that many shelters in this area are getting "pitties" from backyard breeders and surrenders that were involved or closely associated with nefarious activities, some of whom have shown a history of aggression, but that info is either whitewashed or omitted completely from the dog's history in the hopes that some unsuspecting family will take in these "terrier mixes".
If you think that's not happening at shelters, you're very naive.[/quote]
