+1 to the hounds! We have two hound mixes and they are amazing. I am a hound convert!

+2. Worst part about my hounds is they’re very barky. Other than that, they are the sweetest, cuddliest, most docile dogs. I NEVER have to worry about aggression. There’s a reason (sadly) beagles are used widely as lab dogs - they’re so gentle, docile, eager to please.

+3 to hounds! We have a sweet, lazy coonhound mix. Loves people, dogs, cats. Barks at the rare sighting of a fox, but otherwise quiet. We’ve had guests in our home say if we ever need to re-home her to call them.

+4 Our greyhound is the easiest dog ever. Incredibly calm, docile, low energy, quiet, needs little grooming, doesn’t shed much, and unlike many of them, no prey drive. He loves meeting new people and greets other dogs with a friendly wagging tail. He’s such a good boy. The only downside is that he will steal any unattended food because he can easily reach the food on countertops.

This “American Bulldog” is definitely a pit bull https://24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PGEO/A531070

As is this one https://24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PGEO/A531071

And this one https://24petconnect.com/DetailsMain/PGEO/A531072

The dogs labeled as Presa Canario and Cane Corso are also suspect, not that those breeds are actually less dangerous.

Big mistake

Please spare us your ignorance.

Stop with the sweet little pittie nonsense. Anything bred to fight has unpredictable genetics. If you feel lucky-fine. Others don't & that's fine.

+1 why would you risk something awful like this happening.

As per Time magazine -Pit bulls make up only 6% of the dog population, but they're responsible for 68% of dog attacks and 52% of dog-related deaths since 1982, ...

So if pit bulls are only 6% of the dog population it should be eays to adopt a non-pit bull then right? Except if you believe the posters here 100% of dogs at shelters and rescue organizations are pit bulls. Hmm…

Aren’t dogs that people generally refer to as pits among the least likely to have been bred responsibly? And among the last picked by adopters because of their terrible reputation? Go look at the dogs available in your county shelter. Most of them would be categorized by the average person as a pit or pit mix.
